It helps when all issues start and end with you- you can hide any issues you want and nobody will know!
He's a great tuner, for sure. As was said earlier in this thread, it's easy to put a nice right angle triangle onto a graph and then never use most of that triangle.

Really, how often can you use 550hp on this car without drag slicks or a street class 305 section width tire in the back? Driving a car that has 550hp is a much different story than using it.

Yeah I mean I spin the tires sometimes on my (basically) stock BRZ... granted the stock tire width is pretty thin, but how much more do you need? More power is better, IF you can translate to forward momentum AND you don't throw away your cornering... My only mod is a light weight Lithium-Iron battery. Then again I like working for it if you know what I mean. I also have version 8 swapped wagon if I want to go fast in a striaght line... but that's AWD but I still have more fun in the BRZ just stock.

I've been driving a boost frs for 2+ years and I would like even more power now. Idk I got too used to 300whp.

This....

I also have had my 86 fitted with a gtx2867r ext gate, 1000cc id, dw300c, 10psi. 320ish whp and 440nm with e85

Have been driving as daily and track hack for 40,000km (not Nana driving)

It holds platform records at our local track and there is a 600wph ls3 86 thats not as quick. (Round the track)

Trust me you can have reliable boosted power from the stock fa20, and I always want more power but 400-500 is unusable. It struggles to put it down 1st to 3rd from a start with 265/35/18s at my power

Everything is possible but from a budget side 350 max is where you would push it. After that pour money into internals and axles possibly a gearbox . .

320-350 = 10k
350+ = 20-30k

How much do you want to spend.

Also the reliability of your fa20 is heavily dependant on your tuner. And how far you want to push.

If you get an "off the shelf tune" most motors seem to go eventually

If you have a decent tuner with a name they take pride in, they will spend the time and tailor to your vehicle specifically and all other factors eg your location come into play

Cars with the best power to weight ratio for under 100k haha. Dude, if you want to go fast, buy a s1000rr or a zx10r for 15 grand and flame bugatti's. Stop trying to be fast. You're not. Just enjoy your car. Cars are fun.

S1000rr has a 1:1 power to weight. 200hp/200kg

This is a bone stock s1000rr with an extreme rider mod. Someone who knows will notice the stock catalytic converter at 1:22 in front of the rear wheel down low, just under his foot. It's the big bright aluminum box, indicating it is a bone stock exhaust. He haven't even taken of the street mirrors for crying out loud.

It's hard to express how slow a 500whp frs is.

I just dont wanna see you be so let down if you are truly after speed. I dont know, maybe you already ride bikes, what do I know.

Bump up your boost

You know who else people hated on? The flat earth guy that built his own rocket.

You don't need to go that "exotic" if talking about motorcycles. Heck, my last bike (Honda CB900F or Hornet in the UK) would do 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.5 @118MPH, and it was basically a standard street bike.

A Honda Valkrie, which was a barge of a cruiser (a cruiser version of the Goldwing), could do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds.

Sounds like you are still trying to find your place in the world. Probably should just get a Tesla

This is a few years dated but, top 10 power to weight ratios under 100k$, don't expect it to be as fast as most of these though (better gearing, weight distribution, a lot more power in general which is more important then power to weight as MPH increases etc..) but it should be able to hang for a little bit with most of them maybe 40-130mph (if you can put the power down and hook)

2017 Dodge Viper SRT ($87,895) – 5.24
2017 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 ($79,450) – 5.42
2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 ($61,140) – 5.97
2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat ($62,495) – 6.29
2017 Cadillac CTS-V ($85,595) – 6.47
2017 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat ($65,945) – 6.57
2017 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 ($60,450) – 7.17
2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio ($72,000) – 7.53
2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 ($65,200) – 7.59
2017 Lotus Evora 400 ($89,900) – 7.88

Is that the proper way to calculate power-weight ratio?
plugged in my data and got this instead. 0.2447 KW/kg

I guess if you prefer killer wasps instead of horse power.
