Thanks for the info. This is a mod that is on my radar but still a few years off. I really an interested in the increase torque. I keep asking about the 0-60 times and quarter mile because it seems that there is a wide range of time for apparently the same hp. I'm wondering what part the suspension and tires have to do with these times. I assume with higher torque that rolling lunches will be much better.

I'm not sure I've ever seen and 1/4 miles times for turbos on here...the 8 is not just a good car to accelerate from a stop.

No idea about the 0-60, but ~270whp should get you between 13.5 and 13 flat. Of course this depends on so much..driver, track conditions, tires/suspension setup

I would agree but I have heard claims from 13.1 to 14s, I'm just looking for some firm data on what to expect.

Just imagine your car with 70-90 more hp to the wheels. That's what it boils down to.

Number racing is a waste of time.
