Default Horsepower for the track

Hey guys just out of curiosity. What Hp #'s are you guys putting down at the wheels on your current track setup? Also what car are you using for the track?

P.S. If you would like feel free to put the specs of your setup

This should depend on what class you want to run in.....

I'm at 470 RWHP but planning on adding around 90 RWHP this winter to be competitive in TTU.

It's easier to add HP than go on a diet

For reference, the ALMS GT2 car makes 480-490 rwhp, and the Grand Am Rolex GT car makes 420 rwhp

HP is only a fraction of the speed

Default 2004 z06

Planning on running in TTA 388 hp with a Vararam intake. Will most likely add some Pfadt sway bars over the winter but that along with A6's will eat up all my available mod points.

386rwhp with a 100 octane tune. Stock headers, stock air box (K&N drop in filter), 3" x-pipe and 3" straight catback. For ST2 but I'm going to do a 93 octane tune this winter and drop some weight out of the car.
