When you start talking 500-600rwkw level of power consider the fact that the engine requires the use of custom plenum at this stage, different camshafts and turbo. By doing all this you are sacrificing a huge amount of bottom end torque, so when you do actually rev dump in 2nd and your engine bogs down lower in the rpm range would you not be caught out by the apparent lack of bottom end torque and have the engine bog down even further.

He was talking about slipping the clutch as long as necessary which is easy to do when the wheels are spinning but very difficult when the tyres hook up let alone brutal on the clutch itself especially considering the torque these babies pump out

Hehe, I would hate to see the condition of the flywheel and facings after a flare at the strip

The real question is, who is game to try it with stock CV's
