Planned SHO build

400-450 awhp you can get to with meth.  But 500, I think you need bigger turbos, no?

I agree

At around my torque peak that would mean about 863NM (637 lb ft) at the crank...

Bring it

You need some 1/4 mile times to back that up.

I was referring to the rpm of my torque peak, not the power I currently make...

Trying to get to 450 assuming the 60 HP loss we see in many stock dynos.

I know some will take issue with the 60HP loss but with that very possibly low number the numbers are discouragingly high.  If it takes less to get there, great, cause I wouldn't want to run at that power level all the time.

AJP put down 527AWTQ and that was only 400ish awhp.

Now if we could get the torque to stay stronger longer the numbers become far less sphincter tightening...

Just an FYI, if you look closely at the AJP graph, that peak torque was actually on a boost spike, so not really his peak while in the normal boost curve. Me and him talked about that quite a bit after I dynod my car with basically the same mods and saw pretty similar HP but different torque: hp ratio

I would STRONGLY recommend not going for the big numbers as the metric.  What we need for these giant tubs is higher average WTQ and higher average WHP over the rpm band you car will run in under WoT.

Case in point.  my car made on a mustang dnyo 383WTQ, (450ish Dynojet),  But I am struggling to break into the 12's on a 1/4 mile.  For me and my car (every car will be different) I drop all the way to 220 WTQ at the end of my RPM band (6100+rpm) before the car shifts.  Despite RPM adding WHP over time this loss of WQT for me and my car is holding me back. 

I would trade 50WTQ 'peak' to get a 25WTQ average increase across the RPM range for better 1/4 mile times and 0-60 times.

(note, i am very limited on mods!, see signature) 

Average WTQ will be the real metric in this novices opinion..
