Have you tried it yet?

If there's any place in the world where turbo lag isn't much of an issue, it's on a road course. You're gonna be in a high enough RPM range most of the time that I bet it's still fun.

I have just as much fun in my car with 320whp at 20 psi vs 380whp at 25 psi. Its all about driving at limits with what you have.

I personal wouldn't rely on a secondary fuel system on track for 20-30 minutes at a time.

ButtDyno- I have not tried it yet. I've just been comparing dyno sheets to my current Green dyno sheet.

Honda-Guy- I'm sure it is fun with 320whp or even 380whp. That isn't the point. This car will be dual purpose and see mostly street time. I would say maybe 3-4 track days a year, maybe an auto-x or 2 for ****s-n-giggles. That being said, 500whp is my goal. It has been since day one. Due to all the rules I'll probably end-up sticking to HPDE's/Lapping days put on by the tracks themselves or atleast not SCCA events.

I've run 50/50 with NASA for 9 years in my EVO. I agree with many that I can turn the power up or down depending on what I want at that event. If I'm unsure of my tires or suspension or anything else I'll crank it down to the 320ish range, if I'm trying to chase someone down or get some new track record I'll push it up to 380ish. I've relied on my home-built system for a very long time. It's crapped out once which threw my EGT's through the roof and melted a turbine but that really wasn't so bad.
