Why are we talking about crank horsepower?

My car makes 389 whp which isn't crazy but my car has over 110k miles and it's still running strong

I love these threads! Makes me want to hang out here like the old days.
For the record I've done pretty well with N2O but if I wanted to run around the street killing Civics I would go for a blower. Hell, the sound along makes most import owners pee their pants!

I agree with that!
If you want to run around town WOT trying to kill anything that moves, get a blower. If you want to make quick passes at the track, nitrous is a great way to do it.

My DD is not overly stressed with only 280-290rwhp, but at the track it steps up fairly well
492 flywheel hp (for those who compare FWHP)

A GOOD tune is critical if you go nitrous.

Almost like having 2 cars, best of both worlds IMO.
