My Hp Goal?
 

What is your horse power goals?
I ask because the old 300 to 400 hp seven years ago, is now more like 500 to 600 hp. I think if I could throw a lot of money at my car now, my goal would be 700 hp, I know how to get the power but only can afford around 400 hp now. What is to come in eight or so years 1200 hp 2.0L & 2.4L daily drivers? sounds good to me. But what do you want?

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

despite how 300 horsepower really does seem like nothing these days my goals is just to get to the limits of my 16g which should put me just over 300 maybe someday i'll get a new turbo but I wouldn't ever really want over 400 i just don't see a lot of point.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

Goal right now is to get it driving again. Then Ill worry about if power is made. I just want to get into the 12s which you would think is easy but... well see. So anything above 280hp would be nice :)

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

I figure with a good tranny, tires, and suspension, 275 awhp is about what I am shooting for in the Talon if I keep it. But that's on the t 2 small.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

It has been gone over before, but my goals are 580-600 whp. We should find out in the middle of June or so, depending on how many customer cars kick mine out of the shop :D

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

Real long long term goal if this car is a keeper. 700-800 rwhp. If not, then 700+ whp DSM it'll be.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

With the set up I have right now, 532.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

630whp at 34psi was my original goal.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

I'm hoping for 530-550whp on my set up 35psi. But my car is turning into a Road Racing machine so. for the most part it'll just be pump gas. which I'm hoping for 410whp 22psi, 92 oct.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

Something over 500... 600 on race gas would be nice.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

550 on C16, 450 on pump. Possibly 500 on another idea I've got.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

400 hopefully without spray on my EVOIII....

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

300 fwhp

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

I am hoping for at leats 650whp. I know nobody belives I will get there but I don't care.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

I'm hoping for atleast 400 whp. If I get there I'll most likely want more and more and more, haha. I want my car to feel like my uncle's GTO, torque and power.....and speed also!

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

i want around 300 whp and 300 wtrq give or take

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

My horsepower goals??? What ever will get me that 11.99 time slip. Whether it's 390hp or 450+hp, whatever it takes. IMO- I find it more appropriate to determine my track goal and then build an engine setup based on that goal -- In that order, otherwise to build a car just to have dyno bragging rights is a waste of money. Reliability is another factor for me.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

My goal is easy. To be faster than anyone sitting beside me at that point. The only thing I don't want to eventually destroy is a rail and that is of course If I am not driving one as well. At some point over the next couple years, I want to build a mitsu powered rail just to see what it would do. Maybe 6G74 or 4G64, either way, it would be fun. The point of goals in my book is to always be pushing for a higher level, when you get there, you still are not done so trying to quantify exactly how fast I want to be is a bit impossible. I have a lot to do, better get started working on my stuff one of these days. If is never the question, it is always just when.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

I've been thinking that for 2 years.

I guess my power goal isn't as important as what I want to accomplish at the track... I just want a 130mph trap speed. Although, getting kicked out of Rock Falls for going too fast (based on speed, not time) without a cage and whatnot would be fun. :)

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

I just want all the little 14B will do. For now. Later, who knows?

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

~400whp

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

[QUOTE=MustGoFaster]I just want all the little 14B will do. For now. Later, who knows?[/QUOTE

Right now, that's what I'm going for too. Then once I get bored I'll upgrade!

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

My new goal is 5hp less than when Eagle rods snap.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

Made 556whp already, would be nice to get to about 575ish whp.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

1000, I should be starting on the build here next week.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

I feel so inadequte about my goals compared to everyone else. ;)

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

With your goals-- at least you won't be wrenching on your car as much as everyone else. :-) Shit! i went through 4 trannies on the 'ol GST. For as much as our hoods are up, I can't believe we continue to DSM.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

My goal would be reliable daily driven 400whp,

something enough to chase down just about anything on the highway, and tame enough to drive daily...

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

lol, you've never seen my launch then. I have been very luck in the past with trannies hodling up to 20+ 6k and above dumps (not slimps) in a 3 hour event session.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

Allan, you are a special case tho, nothing can compare to you!


is it a nutcase or just a special case?

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

380-400awhp on pump gas with a conservative tune. Just need to rebuild a lil sumptin that in my basement and I'll be about set.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

You should take a picture of a pop can next to your new turbo john. But that wouldn't be very accurate. You would have to use a whole 12 pack for that picture. btw, did your water to air IC and 1600cc injectors come yet??

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

For my goal i think i am looking at between 600 and 650whp on C16. If only I had the money to get the car to a point where it can be running and drive. Until then it is going to sit in a storage unit until I have the money to make it run. Why can't everything be free?!

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

If you want to see my turbo just look at randys avatar, thats what it looks like, only its not spinning all the time. And I am doing twin fuel rails with 650s and 660s. But thats next to the point, I just need to start going over the hole set up and make the car clean and nice to look at.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

More than I had the last time.

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

Somewhere around 450whp

Re: My Hp Goal?
 

somewhere around the 450 at wheels range, street driven and saves alot of gas...and maybe...just MAYBE a hybrid engine that saves even more gas. lol
