the only way to have any kind of traction with that kind of power is to have a computer control system retarding boost or throttle in order to avoid wheel slippage... other than that you go anywhere over 1/4 throttle it'll just break'em loose.

Keep in mind A LOT of the times when a mag or person says I have a 400 hp street driven car they mean that it is capable of 400 hp and is tuned down to run on the street..

A friend of mine's buddy had a fully built/worked b16 in a del sol and it was TOTALLY undrivable even with the boost turned down and the nitros off. YES he ran both. the car was dynoed at 400 hp w/o nitrous... running 18lbs with a maximum boost level of 20 (never dynoed though)... he was snapping axels left and right and if he did so much as touch the gas when letting out the clutch the car just went sideways... not like the assend came out like a crab... it would just sping the tires and lurch to the right really slow... he gave up on having a street/track car and made it all track. then he sold it. FOR A HUGE LOSS... that's the thing with these things... people start off with little to no experience build a car that's MORE powerfull then they really wanted or the platform is COMPLETELY inappropriate for the power...

I say if you want HIGH hp and a street driven car your stuck to picking AWD cars... I wouldn't even do a RWD... they're almost as bad in different ways.

Sure you CAN do it... but will you have a car that's good all around like you started with... NO. you'll have a hp producing beast that can't USE that power effectively. I don't know about you but I want a car that takes advantage of it's power not one that's left helpless because of it.
