Hey all. Im in the process of buying a Turbo and my question is what cars can i expect to beat/ compete with @ 8psi?

Mainly i just want to be faster then my 2 best friends.
1 of them i know ill be faster then but the other has a 97 nissan 300zx v6.

Mid-High 14s in the 1/4 mile most likely.. too many variable to take into consideration. I'll have some track times coming this Saturday.

There was no 97 300ZX, so pretty much, everything beats an imaginary car.
Who the hell cares anyways?
Take what you get out of it and go have some fun.

Just because you run 8psi doesn't mean you can automatically beat a certain car. 8 psi is just a number to impress the ricers. It is all about hp/tq. Someone can be making 20 more hp than you at the same pressure.
