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

Some turbos provide more air better than others...
Absolutely right sir

Dunno if you knew this or not.....but that car has been around for a while now....theres 2....one in the 1000hp range and the other around 800 if i remember correctly.
All 'supposedly' on the stock bottom end, and what I find interesting, 'stock coil'

holy crap shut up with that "for the money he coulda bought this" shit... I hate people that always say stupid shit like that whenever someone does something to a car thats not the cheapest route.

love the comment from another user about looking at the first 10 second street driven SRT4.. hehe.. some of those idiots have no idea how far it is between mid 13's and 10s .. lol.. let alone mid 13's and mid 12's... lol
Zate ,
Yes...personally not my style, but they have a business. I'm sure it didnt cost them 10K, but thats the price tag they put on it.
I'm confident they have more on it...sad part is/was, they were running on stock injectors( or maybe satge I)

They should be in the 11's honestly...theres a guy with Stage I @ 16PSI, on slicks running 13 flat. He cuts 1.7 60' all day, and his car is street driven.

Time will tell....all I know I want my daily driven skittle to be able to hit 12's on the ole michelin pilots

Hey look mr Keyboard tuff guy, its a public forum! Obviously the guy has the dollars to do either one and choose this, being that the case what a waste of bucks...

Id rock a used vette before Id by a car that will be worth $.03 down the road, trust me been there done that.

the fact of the matter is, this post is about a 12 second skittle, not your opinion on what the best way to spend your money is, that side of the story pops up too often and its stupid

"oh he coulda bought an old 5.0 stang for 1000 bucks and beat it ohhhh he coulda bought a..." blllaaaa yeah well he bought a neon and its in the 12's...maybe he likes neons?
