Quarter mile runs can give you some sense of how fast your car is compared to others. But the HP numbers will vary as much as 30 hp. Most will be in the 370 HP at the wheels with most of the common mods. So, many will claim over 400 HP at the crank. Maybe, maybe not. Dynos are good to max out a tune if all, and I mean "ALL" the parameters are being monitored. Most don't. Tunes all vary as well. Do you want to push the limits to the point of lien, or do you stay in a safe parameter? I would think you can max out the HP on an N/A with larger injectors, more fuel thru a larger TB, CAI, and the right tuner. I think 300 HP might be pushing it, but maybe not and that would be crank HP, not wheel HP. You can point fingers and start the bullshit all you want, but most car guys know their cars and know where they are with their mods, and most will brag a little. It is a car forum, and and it is expected and accepted...get the hell over it....***** ***** *****...get a life....
