doesnt take too much, 12-14psi and some good gas.
of course the boost pressure has to be from this and not a s/c
as far as being a drivers race with a 520hp (flywheel hp) camaro, i really dont think so. on my race tune im conservatively at 490hp/570tq (that with less than a 10% drivetrain loss, so more like 515/590) and i tip the scales at 3300.
now if we are talking a 520rwhp camaro, ya thatd be a diff story lol.
with that being said, id rather have an SS. itd be nice not worrying about turning your transmission into mulch everytime you hit the gas like so
