I know i could make more than that. The only thing is having a house a car payment high ass insurance buying a diamond ring and all that being 27 the funds wont allow. I am however a certified tech and could build my car to the roof and make more power than that yes. Hell on my current setup around 280ish whp i could throw a 50 shot on my car and walk 90% of the lnf cars out here. i know you made good power but your fuel system is limited you know this as ive seen you admit it in your other posts.

Yes I did have fuel issues.... but considering the rarity of cars at 450+whp (LSJ and LNF alike) I don't think you realize it's not as easy as you might think.
I honestly think with a larger meth nozzle and spraying earlier I could have held the knock further off... if I do it again I'm gonna team up with Vince and get the fuel pressure increased up top.
LSJ's have a sick ass powerband S/C'd but when you add the turbo that changes things and it looses that advantage. I had an LSJ with a 2.7 and meth and my tune on his LNF (be it an older version of said tune) he would take me each time. jus' some food for thought not all tunes are created equal... and my LSJ tune was from Area47 himself.

465 has been like the highest ones there are.... which are on higher octane gas and have you ever been in a 450+whp FWD car...
Drivability is REDONKULOUS! Believe me I know... one of the biggest reasons I took all my **** off.

oh yes many alot of my friends have big turboed SRT's it is just plain dumb. I was just saying it can be done. but then again ive run better times with my lower power than 90% of the lnf owners on this site at the track be it drag or oval road racing

im just playing with you man. But when it comes to the strip you can have all the power in the world and still lose. Oh and my cars always been on factory heavy ass 18's and street tires. Now danew just has to donate that centerforce to me and ill strap some slicks on and go high to mid 12's not changing anything on my setup

On a further note I would have to say Vince's tune isn't a bad tune.
Regardless of pockets only reason I haven't done the HPT is because I know I will be changing a lot of parts here and there and don't feel it's worth to keep paying to get things put right. Maybe when I finally feel that my car is done.
When you say you are beating these LNFs is this at the strip?

with hpt you can change everything you wish...
I'll set this straight.... Intakes, some intercoolers, and bigger turbos are the ONLY thing retunes are needed for....
People need to get this stuff out of their heads.... your not going to maximize a downpipe by tuning for it... because there is nothing changed it's all post motor nothing to do with the ECU.

but why would you have to keep paying for stuff I'm not following you.... after the first time I am paid for a tune... any retunes are done for free.... unless a FULL reworking is done... like going from S/C to Turbo and lots of tune work is needed... but 99% of the time a new flash isn't charged!

Those stock tires do indeed suck.
