Can a 350bhp FWD car hook on the street?
Do you guys think my friends car will be able to hook once he S/Cs it. Its an Alfa Romeo, hes using the eaton m90 S/C off the thunderbird, he wants 350 at the crank, his is 200 stock, do you think he'll be spinning too much or what?

just make sure the suspension see conciderable amounts of work done
new control arms,
new springs,
new shocks,
new struts,
some stabalizer bars,
DEFFINATLY new tires......

I just left a grand prix with 280 ft/lbs of torque and it was very hard not to get a ton off smoke off the line. Others have done it with front wheel drive, it just takes a lot of good suspension.

He'll probably be fine once he gets off the line... until he shifts a gear at WOT while powershifting. Say bye bye to those tires real quick.
