If there are any other questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you to everyone who's contributed so far.

Do you plan on using the stock ECU to control boost? If so, what is your plan for integrating using only one wastegate and not fighting the control scheme?

Trans is already built with a built convertor with increase stall speed.

Yes, plan on utilizing the stock EWG system. But will also incorporate the aftermarket controllers because they're easier to manage when making more power.

Sales@RKautowerks any updates? The interwebs are splitting at the seams with 9.4-9.7 1/4 mile cars, @ 145-146.

Wow, you guys don't mess around. Great detailed information. Perfect for folks that are planning to upgrade the S58 but don't know about the different stages and options available.

As rashannon81 said, once Femto engages with U.S. market again, I'll be seriously thinking about going that route; my target is flexfuel/e85, w/ conservative tune that yields 650hp/650tq.
That will last about a week till you want more!! Lol

Spoken like someone whos modded cars, before. I've been modding turbo cars, for the better part of 25 years, and there's been plenty of times I went through 3 stages of turbo upgrades, in a year. You get used to modifications very easily.

Yeah, well, 1,300 Whp, may be a little different. I think cars that have that much power, takes a little time to get tired of. Also, unless no expense has been spared, cars with that much power, break almost as much as they get driven. Plugs, tune, transfer case, axles.

Honestly, his car has been absolutely flawlessl going on 2 years. It was built right and no corners cut. Which to me, is the only way to go. You can't go cheap on anything when your at that level. Those cars are pretty reliable these days even at 1000+

I wanted one when the changed the interior in 2017. I felt like that was enough of a change to warrant me getting a car that had been designed over 15 years ago, but, then, I just couldn't pull the trigger. Not enough of a facelift. And the price, is sky high as hell, these days. When they came out. I remember seeing them at the dealer for $69k. To think that todays pricing is almost double that, for some upgraded turbos and a minor redesign, it just wasn't enough. It's literally an $80k car, new. But the tuning support is unsurpassed by absolutely anything in existence, but a Mustang is probably close.
