So my last dyno was in 2008 and I put down around the low 300WHP range. To me my car seems pretty quick and I still have a decent amount of usable traction (being FWD that is). Well this other member on my regal forum in Western Pa just posted videos of his 1999 Buick Regal LS. This car was originally a non-supercharged 3.8 however in late August he converted it to turbo. The funny thing is it first put down in the low 500WHP range which I would be more then happy about. However the dyno shop suggested they try a larger K&N filter and well he ended up with a best of 557WHP. Talk about a lot of power with no usable traction I bet hah. If only our cars were RWD how much easier things be. I can't even image what it be like with 237WHP more then what I am putting down. From what I know it has heads, cam, and T67 Turbo. Its just something different that I bet you guys don't see everyday. I have been tempted to convert my car to turbo and this isn't making it any easier for me...
