I assume you mean 122-126 trap speed? Not to stand up for Topspeed but keep in mind our high here yesterday was 88F, heat and high humidity are certainly going to affect trap times. The car making 720whp ran a 10.2 w/ N20 and 2 people in the car, should be a 9 sec car at some point soon. So I wouldn't say they are useless. I'm well aware that a road course car isn't going to put anywhere near those numbers, my only point was that a turbo that can flow damn near 1000hp on the same motor + power adders should be able to add more than a 100hp on a race setup. In no way was I trying to say you should be able to make more power than you are right now. Just trying to get a decent guess of where you are at.

Well that answers that, it's nice having the guy who tunes the car on the board.
Do they make you guys run a restrictor?
