A big one.

Are we talking wheel HP?
Hp on a Dynojet, Mustang, Dyno Dynamics,
Race gas?
Pump gas?

You need to search around a bit. All the answers you seek (and an incredible amount of BS) are all gathered on this forum.

Search, but are you shooting for 450 on race gas? Or all the time. If you want it on race gas, just get a 20g or something to that extent. For pump gas, probibly a DBB 50 trim.

I did search my friend, but I just want to see what others are using to get that power range. maybe I am not clear with my post.

I just want to see what type of set-ups other members are running before I go buying parts that i don't need

thanks

Daily driven on pump gas, is that hard to achive 450hp?

I have search about the white rabbit and the green turbo, i am not sure which turbo to go with.

I don't drag my car at all, just want to power for the street driving.

Well, in that case. I guess you could go with my mod path, do a direct port setup with like a 150 shot, cams, intercooler and call it a night. That would put you closer to 500.

No nitrous in that case. I would go with an evo green than. Or a Red, but thats probibly a little big for what you want.

The green has a better spooling and the red has better top end right. Where can i get more information interms of buying one

i was just going thru the evo gree thread and it seems like that turbo should be good for atleast 400hp

what size injectors you are running?

Any turbo that can flow 50+ Lbs per min....then have fun

Then your common Supporting mods for the turbo..sounds like your going in the right path and know what is needed...so you do dont really need our help for this it is discussed alot on these fourms. Anyways i think its better if you learn abit more before commiting to a certain setup. Ask questions like who has had more success at reaching 450Hp and with what setup...good luck

Dont we all....doing it right the first time is a difficult task...thats why Un-bais, Accurate information is like a rare gem on this site...weed out the BS and try to keep you goals withing your budget... i said this before, after about 400HP it starts to get expensive.

i think i will be very happy at 400 for a daily driver, I will just have to do more and more research

Thank you for the support!!!

Yah the green turbo can get you to those goals and still keep it cheap without buying cheap parts...and it will work with the mods you have and are getting

yah once you get to the edge of what a green can do around 400+ then your talking more serious mods. might want to consider meth.

any higher like 450+ would mean a 50trim or GT35r both are around the $3800-$4500 range....you can see the money adding up huh. Plus any higher your going to need to work on internals also.
