Project of the year!

Stephen,
That is my concern exactly: What if I miss a shift and overev, what if I get some bad gas etc....In a year or so maybe I will spring to have my bottom end built...better safe than sorry. I will try and stay in low boost. A 500 rwhp vehicle is a pretty darn fast DD...but man, is that 600 rwhp thrilling.

Sad thing is you do get use to it. My car seemed slow when I sold it. Then when I drove it again I thought DAMN....It is like a drug,
Viper, hell a Mustang or even an older 930. My 930 is all over the damn road!

50% throttle spin out...that is what I figured w/ your kind of power. I was loosing traction at around 70% in second, 80% in third. I am getting pretty good at sensing when the tires are about to break loose. I am very interested in seeing what the car does all out on the highway at 110 mph plus in fourth gear.
Marski, I will pm you now about the boost control (yes I have the Greddy).
One thing is for sure, suspension is critical. W/out the GT2 suspension I wouldn't even consider running hard w/ trhis kind of power.
However, I have only had my GT2 for 5 days now, and I feel very comfortable in her, as if I have been driving her for months.

my friend was following me on the street in his viper(he is a really good driver).. had to downshift to 2nd to pass and ended up in Taco bell... no joke...
same thing happened to my business partner on the highway... brand new viper... he switched lanes to pass a slow truck and ended up in the wall too...

But I would definitely recommend that Rob get a good aftermarket suspension installed like Stephen recommends. It's just that much better.
