That is complete nonsense. I don't have a fast car and I know most of those guys and the majority of them are good people.

but when you are in a group where 1000 hp barely makes the cut it's slow..

Ultimatly.. 200 hp.. or 1000 hp.. As long as you are happy with your car does it really matter what anyone else thinks?

Well put!

Where we are from 11's is a monster lol. 10's a god!! If I get beat after I finish my mods I'm not going to try and make it faster. Once I hit 500-550 on the juice I'm done.

440hp is very nice for an NA car with no internal work, good job. 370+ torque at the wheels is an improvement over stock as well and they punch pretty well stock. That's like an a near 100hp increase over stock. So I am sure, you definitely notice that your car is much faster now regardless of the not as huge torque increase right?

Yea car pulls good, really enjoy the car im just wanting little more torque. I plan on road course running my car. Just like that that torque pull

**Dominic Toretto** · 07-18-2013, 08:18 AM

As far as the conversation about torque, these cars do make more torque than most Ferraris. I wouldn't worry about torque so much as horsepower.

Anyone checked out this manifold? Claims to not lose any torque as the BOSS intake does. http://www.lethalperformance.com/201...-manifold.html

That intake is designed for 8000rpm shifts. Doesnt lose anymore torque than boss and increases high rpm power. Alot of extra spending me make it work. Alot of people claim makes awesome power 5000 rpms and up

Add boost/nitrous. lol.

The Boss intake was designed for the high revving Roadrunner motor in the Boss that was meant for the road course racing moving the powerband upwards.
