Default Holy-Moly!

Just got back from a visit to say hello to the Guys at Synapse where I have had all of my work done. Two S's were in for some fine tuning- both from the Albany area. Berlina ( Same one that's highlighted on their website- Eric's) and a Silverstone equipped with the Veilside tonneau. Berlina dynoed at 920whp and Siverstone dynoed at 901whp!

By the way Eric's profile on the website is from his first turbo mod at the shop when he had 500+whp.

The boys at the shop say it's almost impossible- the cars are really only suited for the strip-even though they are on the street. The overall modifications on the cars from 300z rear ends to sleeved -built blocks and altered suspension make the diving experience very unpleasant and scary. Noise and vibration. The only stock item remaining in the drive train is the tranny. HUGE 4 inch exhaust from front to back!

Our tranny can handle that much power? Baffled.

That was my question too Mark. Paul at Synapse said that there were no problems so far- but didn't recommend beating the hell out of it on a daily basis!

I agree- think about it. Approaching Bugatti Veryron numbers from 4 cylinders!
