a greddy TT curve would look way different than a JWT curve
and a TN curve looks a little different than an APS ST
also what ballpark whp are we talking about?

+1 plus you have a gain control on most boost controllers that can REALLY affect spool.
Comparing the two is retarded.

Show me a single turbo car that's anywhere NEAR my 11.6 E.T. or 120mph traps with 430whp (my whp on my passes) or less.

HAHAHA...you think 30whp on a 400+whp car is going to pick up nearly half a second and 4mph???
I though you said there are ST cars with the same or LESS hp running BETTER E.T.s and traps than TT cars. I didn't ask for an example that's nearly a half second slower with only 30 less horse to the wheels.

weird, cause I thought if you have 2 cars, a ST and TT with both having equal whp, the ST would have ultimately more usable power under the curve for drag racing than a TT because of the stronger midrange.
depending on what TT kit it is, ithe TT might have more power below 2500 rpms, but who cares about that for drag racing?

Who drag races in the midrange of the powerband?? My car never drops below 5000rpms in a 1/4 mile run.
Id love to run around 430whp as my new low boost setup so I can see what kind of times a measly ST will pull compared to the big dogs. With that power in decent conditions I dont think anybody can tell me my car wouldnt be 119-120mph as well...
