HP Junkies, 410hp

Finally got the car back last month, from having the turbo installed, and have since put on 1400 miles.

The particulars;
1990 C2 Tiptronic
Protomotive stage one turbo
Intercooler
8.0-1 cr
Tial wastegate @ .7 bar
993 sleeves
Flycut heads
Rings
965 Turbo S tail

=410hp and 418 ft/lbs

The car drives pretty much the same as before below 3400rpm, but after that I need to hold on tight. The power comes on quickly, but very smoothly. The engine idles well, too.

I've never been in a car with this much power, ever, and it is quite thrilling. It now feels like what I always thought a 911 would feel like.

On a side note, I did my first autocross last Sunday and brought my son along. He worked one of the corners and commented that he could hear the BOV/wastgate as I accelerated along the fast part of the track. He was really loving hearing it, but not nearly as much as I loved driving it. I'm hooked, and I think he will be soon.

Juan & Merv, add me to the club. Todd told me I can add a second fuel pump, bigger injectors more boost and reprogrammed chip for 560hp....maybe next year.
