[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16329268, member: 7795"] Cat you’re exactly correct. Horsepower is the easy part these days, and easy to get away from the intended goal of the build. That is the one biggest benefit of turbo, ability to dial in a wide range of power choices. Tire technology is really improving and allowing more useable power to be possible. For my car in particular, it’s a stick, weighs 4000# with me and makes 950rwtq at the hit when whacking it from a roll from the street. The ONLY chance I have is to have a serious tire, either the Hoosier Pro compound 325/45/18 or MT ET R 315/50/17 drag radials. For street car builds, the guy spending the money needs to be honest with what he wants and the tire he’s willing to drive on the street. A street tune can always neuter the torque to allow traction, but usually the car is left feeling lazy. Sorry if that went off topic, but Jam you are correct in looking at insurance, but 2 main questions: 1) how long do you plan on keeping the car? 2) how does the car currently work with the power and tires—is there anything you want to improve upon or wish it would do better/different? -J [/QUOTE]
