That's pretty good ribs!

On my 951 I got 4.7 to 60 (G-tech) racing an Iroc-Z (lol)...wasn't much of a race. That was at 15 psi and with a bad second gear shift (clutch slipping) and no wheelspin. I figure around 4.5 if everything's right at that boost level. 20 psi is a whole different ballgame though.

BTW - I put 285 to the wheels before I installed the LR wastegate. Your hp numbers are probably about right.

A problem I've had with launching the car is wheelspin. Although I have 255s in the rear, any more than moderate throttle when launching literally smokes them to shreds. If you upgrade to a bigger turbo and MAF you'll figure out that launching above 15-17 psi produces almost crazy wheelspin in first gear above 4500 rpm. In addition, you really look like a madman on the road with the car wagging back and forth...lol.

I think 1/4 mile times and speeds are probably the most telling of hp, etc. The only problem is finding a stretch of road to get up to 115 or so from a dead start around here.
