What kind of power does it make... any (just my opinion) this is just a waste of money.

See, 8 turbos are way too excessive to just be running 13.5 psi. SRT-4 and Evo 8 run more than that with just 1 turbo

actually its not, because what I was informed of earlier, a bunch of smaller turbos like on this car, even though not making that much boost per turbo still makes more hp than the srt-4 or evo 8

that's 13.5 psi pushed into "each" cylinder right? plus there's gotta be a lot of exhaust pressure to turn all those those turbos

And i meant that the SRT-4 and evo8 are running more boost with one turbo than this LS1 with 8 turbos does. (srt-4-->14psi, Evo8-->20psi *i think*, LS1 & 8 turbos--> 13.5psi, WTF!?)

Obviously its something to marvel at, but why go through all that, especially if your going to race it (or just drive it as an enthusiast), and still have it be AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION???? Why? I have an Auto, but its a civic designed to get me back and forth in traffic. Its still cool, but make it Manual

800hp on stock turbo
you sure about that? Steve Anderson, owner of the first 500whp SRT4, had to upgrade to a much bigger turbo to obtain 500whp.

Racing auto's are sometimes best at the drag strip. At the strip in my area, peeps with auto V8's are getting better launches than peeps with M/T V8's. Never underestimate a good torque converter. But of course with our cars, M/T is best for the street, track, and autoX

Having stock turbo or not is beside the point, my point being that Mopars drag Srt-4 is making more HP with ONE turbo than this LS1 is with 8 turbos
