[QUOTE="WIPLASH1, post: 15415381, member: 150335"] What he said. Before there were EBCs people made 400whp and ruled the streets. Even then it wasn't TOO hard to find a tire to hold that. Now we're more than doubling that in heavier cars. The biggest advantage in a good EBC is its programmability like boost by gear or rpm. You can certainly get there, but having enough full boost to get to 9-1000whp in 1st and 2nd on the street is unproductive. I'm at 15lbs thru an A6 and an MBC. Not sure the power level but it should be 850 or more. 1st and 2nd are pointless, and even 3rd skates a bit (fun at 110mph). I'd question the ability of even the best tires to hold full boost at a decent track in 2nd gear. I haven't gotten to the track to find out yet. I've got an Autometer EBC going in very soon, and I'll hold 1st and 2nd gear to 10lbs or so for the street, maybe 13-14 at the track. [/QUOTE]
