Agreed. With some of the crazy new stuff out there I think with 300 rwhp you're still sitting at the kiddy table. If you're wanting the car to be faster I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before you make it that way.

Yeah when i first did the h/c/i i felt pretty invincible. I beat a lot of things that challenged. When i raced a modded 01 Z06 that shut me the hell up(not that i thoughti would win). i think the TQ number matter alot too. because that can change the feel of the car.

I'm a sheep in wolf's clothing. My car sounds fast but it's barely pushing 200 to the wheels. It's pretty sad. Be happy with 300rwhp. LOL.

2 years ago when I got my car I wanted to get 300 horses at the wheels. Now I am at 500, and can't wait to get a Dart block so I can go for more.
I am starting to think I am never going to be satisfied.

300 was pretty good for my car, but 400+ has me realizing my tranny (stock AOD so far ) definitely can't take too much. Once I upgrade that, we'll see how I REALLY feel about 400/mid-400s.

347 is a or 331 is what I wanted ideally but $$$$. That's going to be bad with a blower man! Hey is that a new motor? I seem to remember times close to your acura that you posted..That must have been your old engine I am guessing..

Ditto that.. With your heads/intake combo on top of the 347, you should be between 370-430, depending on tune and where you live (air, elevation, humidity etc)

i was bored with high 300's after a day. high 400's to the wheels after a few days.

go much higher and it becomes a nightmare, so you just gotta pick where you draw the line..
