bluetoy, Yours is as roller queen as mine , I just got done with 205 miles this year and 235 miles last year at VIR ,For those that dont know VIR is a 3.2 mile track with very longggggg straights and not another car in my class was faster and there was some 100,000$ cars there

I drive this car daily or my sone does , i chase parts in it and have driven it to the beach a few times 250 miles each way

I get out with this car and use it ,It isnt a car that sits on the dyno and looks good to customers and that i brag on the numbers on, yet never take it out and use it

It has raced in 13 differant states from TX to FL to NH

I use high octane because i like it and its safer for the HP I want to run,

This SVT is now for sale also because im looking for a duratech and would consider some trade as well

Tom, we know you use your car as a daily driver... but it's also a matter of perspective. 94 octane is hard enough to find up here at times, could you safely run that kind of horsepower on 91? That's all I ask... daily driven for you would very likely be a dyno queen here. You're just lucky that way :P

Of course, this is a fortunate thread, that the fellow who asked about 400hp seems to know what to look for to make the application work as a whole. So many people seem to disregard all the little things that are required to make that kind of horsepower safely, and that's why all these little 'arguments' seem to break out.

I would love to be in the upper echelons of the horsepower club..maybe when I have a bit more money and/or sponsorship (anyone wanna chip in to make the fastest daily driven zx5 in Canada?).. until then, my expectations on what can be accomplished up here will be conservative.
