Default hookup? or break up?

alright peeps...im getting ready to boost my dc and my eg...my questions are about boosting to the limit...the limit being making so much extra power its no fun/unecessary/a waste...meaning i lose traction in the top end and there is no hard acceleration...i dont want a 300 hp car beating me when he or she can gain traction while i have 600 hp and constantly spin...its no fun and its just wasteful...

so my questions are:

What is a good street boost to tune for/stay at? how much hp should i limit myself at?

what can i do with my street vehicles to ensure i have the best traction possible?


if you have personal experience with this id love to hear it but all kinds of help/advice is welcome...thanks guys

p.s. im boosting both...the end

best traction possible?
drag radials, traction bars, motor mounts, good suspension.

Depends on the size of the turbo, how built your motor is, how much your car weighs, how long you want your motor to last.

Which a decent sized turbo, If I were to do it, I'd do at most 10 pounds and be around 320-350hp for a daily driver.
