All depends how the boost comes in, and how good your tyres are.

I have no idea what times are possible

But I'm sure some blokes that have been to the drags could give you a rough idea

I noticed on mine once I went over 400rwkw there was no traction to 100kph. Once it got traction it hauled ass. Now with mine I cant nail it in any gear at any speed, so its a slow street car so to speak. Plus its too loud to drive hard.

Damn, that kind of makes me reluctant to venture towards that end of the spectrum. I would imagine having that amount of power would be awesome on a race track though. Right now my car is completely stock with 275's on the rear and it still breaks a bit of traction but getting to 100 is generally fine.

250-350 is the sweet zone for a street car I reckon

My car has 305rwkw, nice linear tune, drives like a stocker, better fuel economy , and to be honest the dyno figure really means bugga all to me

I have never been to the drags, I don't go stupid racing people on the street or doing power skids any where I can

I just love having the enormous amount of torque under my foot!

You gotta decide what your end goal is.

320 odd rwkw gave me 0-100 times of 4.6 seconds on a slight uphill bitumen surface and about 4 seconds flat on the drag strip IIRC. I'll see if I can find the logs.

Stock was 5.91 on bitumen (BFII XR6T).
