SVO blower HELP!

Inquiring minds want to know! Did you switch the port for the boost gauge yet?

And in reality what is that 1,000 horsepower used for by YouTubers to get clicks? Burnouts and doughnuts you could do with 310rwhp.

This hobby is full of so much piss stream measuring snobbery I just stopped giving a fuck about stats and numbers. The same peanut gallery commenters on YT who gush over factory ratings will roll their eyes at anyone who has a modified engine who doesn’t state their dyno proven wheel horsepower… guess what, stock hellcats don’t actually make 707 horsepower either dudebro!


I can go on…. Ok I will. Turbo LSx world, “omg did you guys see what cleetismcdoofus built? Omg!” For every high profile “budget” build on the internet there’s a dozen real life builds emulating it that run 14-12 second ETs a moderately built small block could without a hideous exhaust system exiting into the passengers face.

God I hate car culture. Build what YOU like.

This is one of the reasons I don't care to dyno my cars. I dont need to know. If I knew I'd keep chasing a higher number cause that's how I am.

The red car boogies enough to make guys with supercharged mustangs (drift builds) say "that thing f***ing moves" and the gold car surprises me often. It'll still drive like the car I remember having in highschool when I'm not on it. And then it'll blow the tires off like I always wanted it to do.

Ive wanted to build a teksid for it for years but honestly at this point, I don't want to. I want a smaller TC so it'll rev a bit higher and stage 1 cams just so it has a slightly more aggressive idle.

I had the pleasure of driving a 14’ CLA45 AMG, all stock making a monstrous 355hp with a dual clutch auto. That bitch was really fun and enough power to get your ass in trouble. The shifts were ridiculous fast and made the craziest back fire when shifting.

I’d be content with 500whp in the bird. All through the quietest exhaust possible without reducing power.

I do feel like we are in the golden age of automobiles again, Power is so easy to make now a days. Most people complaining a car not making enough power, have never driven a 300whp+ car before.


Recently this guy on YT gingium, put a ford m112 blower on a 1UZ from the Lexus in a Mazda drift truck he built. Not chasing numbers just a dope build he enjoys.
