I am having my turbo intake and exhaust system custom fabricated by Marty Staggs down in LA. He builds some badass engines and runs some very fast times. This is from a recent post by him on Shoptalk showing off his car. His goal is to get down into the 7's. Check it out.

What kind of horsepower would that engine be generating?

500? 700? 900?

Let's see... my teener turns a quarter in the 16s, weighs 1,000 lbs more, every 10 lbs saved is 1 horse, my car has 110 horses....

Hey, his engine is only putting out 147 horses!

I believe that his engine in this car is pulling somewhere in the mid-500hp range. I also know that some of the other engines he has build were upwards of the 700hp range.
