Being the one who posted the initial question, I want to say thank you to all of you for your contributions to this thread. It is very educating. I guess, I have the big picture now.

You've got the green light now. You can post anytime.

The throttle isn’t a switch, but I have seen turbo cars with big single turbos where power came in as if it was released by a toggle switch. First you have nothing at all and then you get a Godzilla kick in the butt. Those were cars that received their turbos through build it yourself kits and...

Oh, surprise, surprise. I guess, they introduced an approval procedure by one of admins. Don't worry, I'll drop them a note and you'll be granted posting rights.

You made some very fair points. Clearly a car has to go through comprehensive preparation to support a 1K hp engine. The hard question that some people in my neighborhood need to face is what to prepare their cars for. Problem is that there is a popular dream of a car that can be street driven...

Two points: 1. With 400 hp and 3.73 gears my Mustang is rather loud. I went through 6 or 7 different exhaust setups looking to reduce the noise level. Even with Dynomax super turbos it still is louder than I'd want it to be at highway speeds. 5-7 hour trip may get on my nerves. 2. If I drive...

Let me put it in a different way. If you had the budget to build ANY engine for your car to be regularly driven in the street, including in bad weather, what would you shoot for: 500hp, 700hp, 900hp or 1100hp? That is based on the assumption that you want to sometimes race it and show good...

Let me explain. The cars like Veyron or super expensive builds like TT Lambos and 9FF Porsches are mostly 4WDs with sophisticated auto transmissions, which makes them much easier to race. On the other hand several Mustang guys I know locally have plans to build turbo engines for their GT500 or...

Congratulations! I see your profile page: http://www.mustangclub.ru/forum/index.php?showuser=7206 We don't have a designated section for new member introductions on our forum. I suggest that you post here in a "General discussions" forum...

Many people have the money to have that kind of motor built for them, but lack the driving skills. As of the choice of 1000 hp street cars, there are many options besides Veyron. Have you heard of these people: Underground Racing - Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo Performance or Heffner...

Thank you. I will look up Larry Larson. I haven't seen many turbo Mustangs personally. Those that I have seen have lots of power, but don't cope well with the challenge of putting it to the ground in a 1/4 mile.

Will you feel foolish with a 1000hp engine under your hood when a 400 hp car in the next lane wins the race time and again because you can not make your ride hook up?

I observe a real power craze among local Mustang enthusiasts where I live. Many guys seem to be mesmerized by four digit power numbers they read about in magazines. They are making plans to bring the output of their 99% street cars to a 1000 hp mark or close. No one I know personally has had...

That shouldn't be a problem. Let me try to guide you through the registration process. When you open the first page, you see a pinkish line close to the top.

Hi, My name is Sergei. I live in Moscow, Russia. I have come across this forum and decided to join the community. I drive a 1991 Mustang. It's full of mods in all departments and runs quite strong. If anyone is interested, we have a Mustang Club in Russia. Should you feel like paying a visit...
