    Trying to define streetable reminds me of M10 at Stanton. Sitting at the gate waiting to get in with my procharged 305TPI bucking and surging on a huge cam made me think those damn LS engines were a bit more streetable.

    415rwhp was fun, I'd like to try out 500rwhp sometime. Besides, I can't afford bigger numbers!

              Lowered without relocation brackets =neg anti squat
              My car would only go low 1.5's with the prokit.
              Put stock cut rears in and would yank the tires and go low 1.4's

                      Ah, yea, deff gonna need rel. brackets. Should grab a TA rear cover if you dont have one already, might get a few more weeks out of the 10 bolt, lol

                        im actually surprised my 10 bolt held up to the abuse i've given it. its just because my tires spin i'm sure.

                          this is a question thats been battled for years. ever since the turbo technology has improoved, the streetable bar has risen. but there still other factor's driver skill and comfort. i can easily hand a twin turbo ls1 at 900hp on the street beings i know when to get in it, get out of it (peddle it) and when it just not a good idea. In my case i would say 800hp boosted would be a comfortable ride. of course with about 12-18 more psi in resurve. lol ( you know for the track)

                            Exactly, as soon as they hook kiss that thing goodbye if you dont have it setup right. I had sticky tires for most of this last year, but wouldnt put them on because I hadnt done rel brackets or put the new cover on yet.

                                I have one on mine.. My 10 has lasted me 6 years now.. Have ran a 1.50 60' and yanked the fronts a foot... Rear is howling now, but still works fine! It won't see the track again, but for the street it is fine..
