Default Boost. It’s like a Drug (Crack)

Well last night at a local meet, I got the opportunity to ride in a boosted Z. Max RWHP is 625 with race gas. He was running the 92 map at about 15.5psi. I think it was 571whp. All I can say is I know why you all call it a Drug. My god it was insane. 55 to 130 seemed like a few seconds. It just pined you back in the seat and pulled up to the redline (6800 rpm).
I have seen lots of the vids on of some of you all’s cars, but to have now ridden in one lets you really know what it’s about.
I am now really fighting with pulling the FI trigger. I had been looking at a going TT on my stock block. I just know if I do, I’ll get bit by the boost bug.

No. Got the cash, just want to keep saving for later in life. That's not to say that if a good deal presented it's self I may have to take it.

if you're 65 years old and disabled with 50 million dollars you really can't do a lot of ****. Spend at least some of it while you're young and can appreciate it then put the rest in savings for when you're old and falling apart.

Ride on passenger side is fun. Drive is serious fun...

Edit: but you are in trouble tho...you should ride on 400whp boost z first, then you will be happy with stock block TT z(when you go)...but now you already taste over 500whp boost z...Idk if you can settle with 400whp...lol

+1 on this. My dad worked ihard his whole life and was always going to by a boat, fish all day, go to spring training with the Yankees, take the family to Europe and so on. Then he had an accident, got very sick and passed away shortly after. He never got to enjoy the things he saved for his entire life, that was a good part of the reason for my big build this past year.

If I die tomorrow I will have at least enjoyed one of my life goals to the fullest, and my family will be set financially too.... that's what life insurance is for .

Edit: but you are in trouble tho...you should ride on 400whp boost z first, then you will be happy with stock block TT z(when you go)...but now you already taste over 500whp boost z...Idk if you can settle with 400whp...lol

+1 on the built block.

get lined up what you want for hp and do it all at once to save expense and time down the road. I'm kicking myself for doing supercharger and then now deciding i want more. All those man hours and money wasted. Ya, i can sell the parts but the return isn't near what i paid. 15 grand sounds like a lot when you lay it down up front but when you look back on piecing things together slowly, you'll add up 15 grand easily

+1 Make sure you are happy with 400whp. I'm bored but I know I'm at the limits of my stock block. The fact that I have great reliability is my only saving grace.

+1 on enjoying the fruits of your labor whilst being blessed with the ability to do so now. The adrenaline (drug) your referring to keeps the lights on and the bank account healthy round here too

Evidence that n/a will NEVER be sufficient (1200+ AWD hp = king of all streets)





I don't even care that my post is marketing for another shop. This **** is just too sick to not post.

A friend that lives a few houses did that to his Lambo...but he has the Murcielago ( may have spelt it wrong) He spent $70,000 to get 1300whp and a 1 year warranty
