Alright with Tbirds Mini and the Sol thread has led me to ask the question (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) .

How much hp can a 4th gen fbody really handle and still handle (without having to back pedal or get into changing all the susp)?

I know the drag racers go 700+hp and go 9seconds.

But it seems that 700+hp would be a little hassle to control in autoX and road racing with a near stock chassis (even with the GC setup).



I know its an open ended question because of use of throttle and even more open ended when compared to a small tight low speed autoX verses an open road race.

Thanks for the replies (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . Some good reading.

Interesting and good quote from Mark D (summed it all up).

Also interesting to read about the street handling with 500+ hp.

I'd like to add how the 2 red colored F1 drivers have the throttle pedal throws setup. One has a very short throw with almost instant full throttle and the other has a long throw for a large/long throttle response. As you may have guessed Ruebens runs the long throw and MS runs an instant full throttle pedal throw (it even is said he drives like in a kart).
