12s is going to be a hell of a problem with the stock turbo, it simply can't flow enough air. I suspect you'll have to switch to the Evo turbo or larger to get close (shaving 2 seconds off your 1/4 mile time is hard as hell). Another issue is launching, without launch control it'll be difficult to get off the line hard and fast. There's also the ever present issue of the transmission. People can claim 400 whp all they want, it doesn't make it fact. I've seen Lancer guys claim 200 whp NA but it's BS. Just because an SST doesn't literally blow up doesn't mean it's handling the power. I believe it was TTP that indicated the car effectively drops torque output if it senses slippage. This means you can be making 500 HP at the crank but it won't get to the ground because the tranny doesn't want to die. It's a big gamble and I suggest people actually drive a real 300 WHP (ie. not on a dynojet where your grandma could dyno 20 WHP) car before they start shooting for some arbitrary number. 300 WHP on some dynos is a stupidly fast car.

You have a GTS (according to your sig), this is about the Ralliart.

TTP also came up with the "torque protection" thing yet other vendors seem to debunk that theory pretty quickly. 300whp should be obtainable with the stock turbo, IMO.

There is no such thing as a "torque protection" i think it was something someone just made up and everyone ran with it i think.

You are aware the tranny is 8000$ right?

300 WHP is obtainable with an exhaust and a tune if you pick the right dyno. However, on a decent dyno (ie. one that actually indicates what you're making on the street) the small turbo in the Ralliart is unlikely to hit 300 WHP. 300 wtq yes but 300 WHP no.

Wrong, it exists and others (including reviewers) have hit some form of it (ie. tranny goes into limp mode after launching).

It seems silly to buy a car only to break it when you can spend less money and get a car that can definitely handle the power.

I thought the sst went into limp mode when it was over heated, not from producing "too much torque"
