[QUOTE="turbofiveoh, post: 11378258, member: 98400"] I'd love to do an IRS because I don't really care about the 1/4 mile any more. The car took a long time to build and over the years straight line racing became less important. Going to the drag strip once in a while is fun, but it's not why I built the car. I just really enjoy driving it. I was hoping to hit 700-750 rwhp and I ended up north of 900. My biggest concern with the IRS is breaking axles if the car plants the power. The car isn't lazy and as you can see from the dyno sheet it'll jump from 500rwtq to 900rwtq in ~1000rpm. With the traction control and boost control on the power comes in very smooth and never shocks the tires. In fact, 80% of the time I drive the car on low boost which is good for ~600-650 to the ground. So, if I keep the traction control and boost control on, not try to stand the car on it's bumper, which I don't plan to do anyway, the IRS should liv....is that about right? I would really like to have a well rounded car. It doesn't need to dominate at the drag strip or the road course, just perform well in either. I've got big 6 piston front and 4 piston rear brakes on it so it's by no means a 1/4 mile car. With that being said, what do you guys think? SlowSVT, it's pretty fun driving around but the blow off valve is so loud that anybody near the car knows it's not factory. In fact, Jefe can chime in on what the car sounds like just driving around. Between the whine from the turbo and the bov, most people want no part of it. [/QUOTE]
