Yay, honda,ford,chevy,ferrari, oh wait, everyone has been in the 12"s and lower for a long time...So for the amount of $$ he has put into it, he could have bought a new Z06 that would be reliable and have a nice factory warranty, and it would be a corvette not a neon...

*note I used to have a Neon, hence I fully back up my just a neon statement...

So I guess being a previous neon owner you must know exactly what he spent on the car

honda's can go 12's but most of the time they are'nt that reliable when compared to DSM's and other older cars. My 2 scents.

We need to have a skittle vs mazdaspeed meet at a X-cross track... OWNAGE.

PSI is only a relative term.... 15PSI on a T3/T4 is far higher than the stock turbo....


For Example... Enjuku racing runs 23PSI on their race car with a T3T04E 50 trim... they make 450 rwhp on race gas

Enthalpy runs 18psi on a SC61 and makes 454 rwhp on 93 octaine....

Some turbos provide more air better than others...
