That's authoritative. And 155mph tells there's more in it. You can tell your European friends it hit the 155 speed limiter :-)
Keep reading!!!!
A bunch of 8 second time slips!!

Here's my own 1000+ hp twin turbo build I did last year. I left packaging it into a C7Z as "an exercise for the reader".

I did it just to learn and see what I could do for $1500, and came very close to one hp per dollar (no counting the NA motor itself).

[Edit: I bet one of your turbos costs more than my entire build... and will survive, unlike my Chinese eBay junk.]

Trying to build and package something like this into a factory car when they're already packed solid is quite a feat of workmanship, congrats!
