I am Very familiar with these big HP Supras..Some are Very fast, But only in a straight line, and with Automatic Transmissions. Most of these Record HP Supras come from Sound performance In Illinois. I Know the guys over there, and in fact have had my car there many times, and dynoed there. The will even admit to you that most of these guys with 800-900 RWHP Supras can't even run less than 13's!!! The cars are very hard to drive, because they go from nothing to full boost, and there is no in between.

[QUOTE=Orian]Boost is not just boost, this statement is totally innacurate and wrong! Remember people, that it is the AIRFLOW that makes the power. 10psi in a Vette flows exponentially more air than 10psi on a 2 or 3 liter motor! Physics and fluid dynamics are your friend!

I apologize for my statement you are absolutely correct The main point I was trying to say is that a larger engine with same amount of boost will make more hp than a smaller one all things being the same and correct. Otherwise people would not buy larger size turbo's or blower's I was just trying to generalize. (my bad)

No need to apologize. Like I said I'm just trying to educate those whom aren't in the know on the subject! It's all about progression!
