Default How many horses?

Hey everyone;

As you may know Stuttgart was formerly a stud farm for horses (hence the horse in the Porsche crest). In many recent threads I've seen people post horsepower numbers that are amazing to me.

I know the stock setup is pretty powerful in most years and figured that you could probably 'tune it up' for 50-100 hp over stock without really changing the look and feel and keeping it street legal. What I didn't expect was how many people are boosted and running with 400+hp.

I really thought this group was more into 'keeping it stock' more or less.

So, which category do you fall into?


I'm thinking I'm right around 300 with the chips and crossovers, but I don't know what part of that is getting to the wheels.

You don't have a choice for us stock OB's. We are below the curve.

Crap, that was in my original setup, I don't know what happened, let me fix it.

I can't figure out how to edit the poll. Anyone?

You don't have rating for under 300 horse. I guess I can't participate. I do have two real horses though. Does that count for anything?

No luck there, I could close it, but then if I started another there would be 2. I'll check and see if a mod can help.

At the crank? I'm running the Murf Stage 1 which is supposed to be 407 at the wheels (roughly 478 at the crank). Once I get some of my niggly problems solved, I'll take it to the dyno to see how close I am to that number

Edit: Randy hooked us up with a 'Stock' option (thanks Randy). So let's hear it, waddya got?

I think we should go for HP at the crank, because it sounds cooler , but whatever you like.
