571 HP and climbing
Just got the car back from Cartek. Lots of mods done. With the Procharger and barely 5lbs of boost Im at 571rwhp and 487 torque. I have a 4.5" pulley that will be changed next week to a 4.25. Should end up with about 630 rwhp. The car is wicked. I should have done the procharger a year ago. I will need to invest in some custom rims and slicks for the track this spring. Tires spin all the way through 4th gear with my 4.10's. I took the wife for a ride and nailed it at about 75...pinned her to the seat and she panicked
She is comfortable at 140 so she is not usually worried about speed. she said the car is outrageous
...but she loved it...and so do I.

Your new toy!!!!
My sincerest congratulations. I picked up my car from cartek last week and saw them working on yours. Julio was working his magic on it and I knew it would be baad (get it???).
The rest of you guys should've heard it. That thing sounds sick!!!
For comparison's sake... check this out:

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the new jet (I'm sure you will, as I'm enjoying mine) and be sure to share the chart and specs with us whenever you get the chance to.
Later.

I would think well into the 10's with some traction. The pull/power is crazy. From an 80 mph roll it pushes the passenger into the seat and just goes non stop. It is extremely fast. I can't beleive the power (and it will have more next week when the pulley is changed) There will definetly be a little "learning curve" to handle this car. Next mods will all be traction related...rims, ET streets/tires, custom shocks??
