I'd say a twin turbo V8 only making 3 to 400 even 500 rwhp isnt good

LOL with only 255rwkw he used to put away 6L's, typhoons, xr6 turbos with ease, i think your forgetting the car was only on 7psi, raise the boost to 12psi and a more agressive tune and you will easily see over 350rwkw, add cams, and valve spings and you will have a pretty quick car stuff like this does not come around every day, if you want it let me know cos i have other people interested in it

255 rwkw on 7psi is monster mate, id been in the car many times, built part of it, and went through the blood, sweat n tears all the way till pulldown. On a 185 motor it would put out more ponies and with the cam plus boost itll get to the stage where its pointless driving on the road. Also turbos are 550 hp not 450, and the 2 x 50mm external gates

VLT power will fix them lol, and ive had VL turbos that where nearly stock makin like 250 rwkw an sum with few mods makin over 300 and thats with only a 3.0L and one turbo!!! so in my eyes 250 or 350 rwkw from a twin turbo V8 is not good, just the twin turbo V8 part sounds cool thoe....
