There are definitely some fast imports out there. I'd like to see how long his engine lasts running that much boost though. My buddy had an Eclipse that was making 430hp at the crank, but he also blew up 3 engines (all forged and professionally built), 2 trannies, and 5 clutches in a couple of years. That much power in a front wheel drive car is scary.
