Tweaked out, this kit should have potential to be in the 300whp range correct?

As impressive as this kit is, I cannot help but wonder what's next from DDM? Water/methanol injection? Pulley Down? Additional ECM tuning? Larger core intercoller? Any combination of the above?

Posts like these are making it hard for me to wait until fall to start modding - the little bit of summer downtime might be worth it!

I would think more like the low to mid 13's. I turned 14.102 in the quarter with a stage I.

Stage I was 5.8 0-60 and stage II was 4.8 0-60, both times there were two in the car and both weighing in at over 200 lbs. Haven't been on the track yet.

DDM has more up there sleeves - the are looking at doing something about the upper RPM drop this engine has, I don't want to speak out of turn so I will let them tell you.
