Just curious to see how much HP people are running around with on a daily basis. High horsepower daily drivers is what I like to hear about. I'd like to hear about the setup used to achieve that kind of power, etc. Let's see 'em!

i used to drive this dayly till i realized it cost me $200 a month in gas. it has a 308 e-cam massaged early 289 heads with 1.90 1.60 stainless valves hooker supercomp exhaust. i guestimate 340 flhp desktop dyno said 390hp but it don't really feel like it more closer to 350. well any way it got me down the track at 12.95 at 106mph.

Last summer my car ran [email protected] (best)
This year it should run 11.90s-12.0s @ 110-111.
Not sure of the power, but it works good. The car just hooks awsome and it's light. This summer it will have around 290-300 rwhp. Just a guess. I will have it dynoed in March or so.

Well, since it's driven a few times a week, it'll pass. So far, you're the top dog in this topic with over 500hp on tap.

My car drives, looks, and sounds like a stocker (see below), but there is a turbo car daily driver here that ran 9's at the last All Ford day. He is the street racers worst nightmare.

Got the #'s in sig.
The DAILY driver is the 97 Cobra, and in the summer, the 550rwhp(estimated with new combo) 94 will be out serving daily duty.

Drive mine daily. Just wish I could hook up at the track.
40 miles a day, 20 of those in 5oclock traffic. And that's just the school commute.

Old combo made 303rwhp and was good for 109mph. New 418 should make around 525-550 rwhp n/a. Not a future plan, a reality just waiting engine dyno and install. FWIW, Stan Pearson did the motor for me, he has a single turbo 306, in street trim runs 10.30's at 134mph on pump gas, race trim runs 9.90's at 138-140mph. Saw about 30 runs this year and 6k street miles. Estimated 720rwhp in race trim through a c6w/external od.
BTW, sirsureshot39, sweet car
FWIW, again, most impressive thin about Stans car is the fact he drives 100 miles to the track, changes tires, races, and drives 100 miles home

I daily drive my convertible. Its not making the most power, but for being my only running car right now a detuned and reliable 434rwhp is good enough for me

I'm started to see some good numbers now. Stan Pearson's Stang seems to be top dog at the moment with over 700rwhp. I've only read about some of the crazy Stangs that have over 900hp and still driven daily. Is there someone here that could top everyone else? By the way, nice cars everyone.
By the way, nice cars everyone. 
Not sure of the HP but I run at 119.5 mph which should be between 420-500rwhp, my car also looks stock and runs all season tires(even at the track) because it really is a dailydriver and my times were done in complete street trim.FiveOCapri79 said:Just curious to see how much HP people are running around with on a daily basis.

Thats sweet. Other than the hood and few gauges, Stan's car looks stock too, actually, a cowl hood and a few cowl mounted gauges is stock for a mustang isn't it 
His car sounds and runs stock on the street, pretty impressive setup. Sweet rides to everyone
