650+ just seems ridiculous for the street in my opinion. . .not saying it wouldn't be fun but where or how can you really put that down on the street?

The freeway!

90% of the time I drive my car around town "street" is with the boost controller in the OFF position with a nice 534 Dyno Jet hp!

This Kid doesn't understand that 500 hp on Greddys = no traction 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd.

Keep in mind my car hooks in 3rd (on a hot day) with 700@ the wheels. The power delivery of the 850 is very different.

very true. forgot about the difference in spooling. These greddy turbos spool ridiculously quick. I want to ride with someone that has more experience launching the car. Could use the experience.
