Do you want to? Cars like that are undrivable anywhere else than on the dragstrip. But to each his own.

Once the fueling problem is sorted out, I think that 600 whp should be doable maxing out the RB turbos. For more than that, a bigger single turbo would be needed.

indeed. wonder how 600hp would handle with the xi...... may be one reason to keep the car after warranty end - but then again, i wonder how much maintenance these will need and whether it'll even be worth it.
