turbokit hp rating??!

i just have an simple question but tend to get different answers from different people... on all these peakboost, ams, buschur, full-race ect.. turbokits.. when it saids 600whp.. does it mean its capable of making that much whp on PUMP GAS? most of the number i seem with turbokit is on RACE GAS... i need some help... im looking to make an 500whp daily driver.. i know that might be kinda hard if all these numbers are on race gas...

Yes, of course those are on race gas. Big turbos can't make big power without big boost, and that requires high octane. 500whp daily driver can be done with alky, so you don't have to worry about race gas as a hindrance.

thanks for the input, i forgot to mention that i don't plan on running alky... alky doesn't seem pernement to me... eventually the alky needs to get refilled on every 1-3 tank of gas


im thinkin about the 50trim kit.. i seem alot of high 400+whp numbers on pump with that kit or i could go with gt35 but haven't seem solid numbers on pump gas

Most 50 trims will put you in the low 400's on pump, once alky or higher boost comes into the equation then 500whp is possible.
