Default 500 WHP club, finally.

well just got back from SGP yesterday and i'm pleased to say 520whp and 500 wtq at 12.0 psi. we could have easily kept going but i really was happy with that and dont really have the money for better tires to hold so theres almost no point at this moment. i also didnt have the clutch competely broken in so i probably should have waited but i didnt. Anyway this is so much fun, the power is great and actually very useable. I will be going back in a couple weeks to up the rev limit and maybe add some more boost but for now it feels great!!!

Congrats!!! I'm in the same boat where I'm going for 500whp and I could go for more but my tires already can't keep traction.

What setup do you have?

That setup seems like overkill for 500whp. Enjoy!
