Yeehah! That ought to haul arse! Don't think you're going to need a twin charge setup Mike (much harder to get right anyway apparently).

I'd not be surprised if you manage to pull 300 to 400 rwhp out of that thing if it can hold together at those boost levels. And 400hp in an AW works out the same as the power to weight ratio of my SW which means you could be doing 100kmh in 4 seconds no problem at all.

You're going to need some seriously good rubber if you haven't sorted it already. I'd recommend Potenzas (S001 if you can get them to fit). My SW has 255 / 35 - 18 S001 on the rear and they allow you to plant it very nicely indeed, even in the wet. I've been for a ride in a McLaren 650 and that had Achilles tyres and they seemed to work well too.

Your AW should turn out to be (quite literally) a TON of fun! :mrgreen: I hope I get to see it one day.

100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass. :twisted:
