[QUOTE="yamahaSHO, post: 3790105, member: 8921"] I don't think a SHO motor will handle 30-30lbs of boost in any form. You can get over 500hp on 15 PSI and adequate charge cooling. As for the 650hp SHO that barely sees 12's (torque is not the problem, traction and breaking things is)..... He sees 12's, but at 5,800 ft above sea level (here's your NHRA correction factor - .9520). In addition, he does not launch the car, nor does he shift very quickly. I think he was on street tires on all his runs too. As far as what the car is built for... yes, it is a road course car, but he'll have fun with it where he can. The car is running less than 20 PSI. Vadim said it hit 17 PSI, but the most we've seen is 13 PSI on a fully built motor (breaths better lowering boost readings). He's running the same 3.33" pulley his 15 PSI (@ 7k RPM) SHO is using (race motor sees 8,500 RPM on a regular basis). No boosted SHO owner should ever consider '96 brakes as a sufficient upgrade.... Cobra brakes at a MINIMUM! [/QUOTE]
