brake specific fuel consumption
how effecient the engine is.

never had any exp with a straight t3 on a honda, but we did put a 3000lb buick gn in the low 11's (11.42) with it. BUT we did it with a water to air intercooler at like 30 psi.

and this was 10 years ago he hee. was a stock buick t3 turbo.

i would think 300whp is the limit of that turbo before thermodynamics make it unreasonable to push it any father.
