I agree 100%. I have made one 10 second pass and it still wasn't cheap. If it were, alot more people would be doing it and that isn't the case. If you want consistent 10s, it will take a built engine, strong driveline, fuel system, tune. suspension & good gas. The thing I like about the turbo system is I can turn it up to 25 psi at the track, add race gas & make low 10/high9 sec passes until they boot me for lack of safety equipment. Then turn it down to 12 psi and drive it home and run it on pump gas. I have a completely built engine & P&P heads coming this week so I guess we want the same things. I was told on the built engine, I will be able to run low 11s on pump gas at 12-14 psi and the engine will probably never break.
