Default hookup? or breakup?

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

350whp is plenty for the street. Use a progressive boost controller and you can probably run in the 400's in the higher gears.

No question. Lots of hp and a way to meter it (boost controller,traction control).

This is such a TERRIBLE question. It's way too open ended.

For traction you need two things (basically). Tires, and suspension.

Will you run Drag radials everyday? How about shitty *** street tires?
What suspension are you going to run? SO good that it hurts daily driven or stock with no LSD?

Be specific with your question and you'll get some answers.

Go buy a RWD/AWD car to ensure the best traction possible
