+1 i think that fast and the furious totally ruined the import drag scene. people think that 10 second cars are a dime a dozen. having a 12 second car in my opinion is a VERY very fast street car. aside from the fact that the car is heavy already, have you thought of other things like upgrading your brakes too? im sure with all of that go you will need to stop eventually. the stock internals on the engine will be more prone to wear and tear if you make it work harder so im sure that you wont cut too many corners. your ecu may need tuning as well. you can run massive amounts of boost as long as you tune it just right, that way your engine does not explode.

in the end, it is your car (some what) so do what you want, just dont do anything you will regret later... like street racing....
