I think anybody that is probably won't be able to peel themselves out of the seat for some time afterwards. . .

Good question! It would be VERY interestin to see... thing is, you can obviously get over 500WHP on the stage 3, so why do you need 2.8 > 3.1 etc! Obviously benefits in greater displacement, but the expense to get what a 2.5 can do does not seem worth it! How much HP do you need, 600WHP?

I guess I need to wait for John to get back from vacation. Anybody know of anyone running a Stage 5 and/or know where I could see a Stage 5 dyno graph?

Thanks. It is interesting how much time is spent locating, cleaning and prepping the parts and tools, and how little time is spent actually bolting stuff together.

Because not everyone wants to run 25psi and race gas on the street.

Do you think over 500WHP is needed on the street?

In Vegas, absolutely. No one is stock and everyone is running on the new 215 beltway. These supras out here are unreal. Thank god I'm so light compared to them.
