I'm assuming this is the GTX2860 not 2554? Very impressive but I'm not sure I'll go that high for a while if ever. I can't imagine using all of it in daily driving without getting in trouble either with the law or with myself. Since I don't drag or track the car yet it just seems overkill. On the other hand I can understand why some of you guys would be jonesing for this much whp. I'm watching with interest to see people's results once the kit becomes available.

Yea I looked it up after I posted cuz I wasn't sure if the 25 was a GTX or not. Maybe I should have looked then posted haha. Btw welcome to the forum Mr. Moss! I never did get onto fiestast.org because they never sent me the confirmation email and I PMed the admins about it with no answer back.

My main concern is what would you do with that much power? Seems all it'd do would make you need tires every 6 months. Now...I'd be all about big numbers, if they give us some AWD love! :)

It looks like most of the power is made on the upper end of the power curve which would be good if you were say tracking the car or looking for more power beyond 4500 rpm where the car just seems to run out of steam I found this out and a track day school where on the straight the car seemed to settle in to a slow creep after 4500 in forth gear compare to the rabbit like take off in the 1,2,3 gears.. All depends what you want I am sure some might bemoan the loss of torque down low but that is the nature of HP is trade off's LOL there really is no free lunch .. your smilage may vary

If they are still running a stock intake, that could free some spool up.
The fact that they were running the stock exhaust forever, I kinda think they were trying to restrict spool a bit so they could hook up better at the track. Just a theory.

I could find plenty of things to do with that power. anything with less than 8lbs per horse power to me is boring.
