Our last dyno day we had like one car over 400whp@DB. It's obviously a lot of power.



I know it'd cost more money to do the turbo twice but if you want my stocker, it's just chillin' in my closet. You might want to drive casual for a while to break in the motor anyway.
I was actually debating on asking you about this.

It would be nice for a stock turbo X record anyway

Then throw the black on in September or something.

FP isn't too bad, i think they are just like everyone else in the world. Parts are a huge issue right now and they are waiting on their vendors. My field is having lots of issues with parts delays. People are operating on bare bones crews and the orders are going up so things are going slow. My FPred took under a week to get it from FP to me and they ported it.

I know 420whp is quite a bit of power and i loved my car at that level, it's just that it still didn't make me feel like the car was that fast. I think it was from DD'ing the car 60 miles a day though, because I jumped in my dad's c6 and it seemed a lot slower than i remember it being. Also the X seems to deliver power a lot smoother than the 8/9's so I think they feel a little slower than they really all, plus all the added weight.
