On DSMtuners they have a bit of a rule on the forums.

"Don't ask how to go 10's if you havn't gone 12's or 11's before"

Don't ask about a 650 HP turbo setup for road racing if you're an 18 year old who has not only never driven an HPDE before, but never even owned a turbo honda before. Go race your stock car there, and realize how much you have to learn about road course racing before even thinking about adding a ton of power.

Congrats. Thinking you're going to make 650 HP when you drive a stock honda is crazy talk. Go bolt a turbo kit onto a stock motor, **** yourself at how fast it is, then come talk about more. When you're born, do you crawl, and then get up and start sprinting? No, you crawl, then you get up and stumble around a bit, then you start walking, then you start going faster. Same goes for cars, you don't just jump into something that powerful, all that's for is bragging rights and to kill yourself.

I'm still looking for a 650hp car that is good for autocross, drag racing, boating, and if it could fly me places too that'd be sweet.

You really need to do A LOT of research.

http://www.turbomustangs.com/turbotech/main.htm &lt; The Turbo Bible

Really, you need to read a lot more and gain knowledge of the whole process.

Exactly. and NO. It WILL NOT be fun on a road race course at all. Too much power.
