Unopened engine. On 98.

500 with a mag is common so 550 is possible

Auto box won't last long

I have a new VF R8 ute at work today, Magnuson blower, cam, full exhaust. Guy says it makes 550rwkw. Sounds like a lot, they do that Jet??

Maybe 550hp

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

would supercharged vs turbo be just as quick as each other I.e. 1/4 mile?

Like 500rwkw S/C be on par with 500rwkw turbo?

or did I read somewhere that 70-80 additional kw would be needed for the S/C vehicle to keep up I.e. 420rwkw turbo = 500rwkw S/C

[.Stripes.]

Yeah, 550rwhp on 98 would be believable...but the absolute limit of the gearbox. 550rwkw on 98 with unopened engine I call bullsh*t.

That's the difference between the Miami powered GT's and Turbo F6/XR6T to run similar times.

And if it was auto the box would poo its pants

I know a douche who rekons his ve s2 maloo has 460rwkw unopened (manual)....I still call BS cause he lies about a lot of sh*t! (his is only a walkinshaw kit + the usual accessories - but not sure what specs of the blower)....

that's also why I raised above question....trying to figure out how much power my FGT would need to beat him

That's the difference between the Miami powered GT's and Turbo F6/XR6T to run similar times.

so that would be the norm for most examples? I.e. any S/C v8 or 6 or WHY would need that approx. level of additional power to keep up with a turbo equivalent...

sorry for the de-rail Aaron!
