Just picked up my By Design Stage 4!!! Simply amazing!
LOL Steve. We're looking at just about 100 more HP. Should get these cars in the 9's. And I mean comfortably. Not with a bunch of prep and track only shenanigans. That's my goal. We will also try the shenanigans don't get me wrong!

SDG and WRS, you guys doing this?

No, I will invest in some drag tires for the rear and maybe consider either de catting or doing the 100s first if Sam has a good offer for me. The car is going to the shop this week for a replacement hose so that we have a new hose on the new Ypipe. I might get the 100 cats on then. Turbos are more than I need for what I want from the car.
In regards to how much faster the cars will be… We are working on quantifying that. Customers who have stage four right after stage III report outstanding performance and a nice full power band. Big smiles! The problem with finding out how much faster these cars are is traction. If trying to measure in a straight line quarter-mile. There are no half-mile events coming anytime soon but we will get to the track with a few cars. It's obviously making considerably more power and it's quite nice.

true 1/2 Mile 174
1/4 mile 9.80/5 @ 138/9 if stars line up
Were gonna find out real soon
That would be awesome! The idea would be to get as close as possible to that with a street set up, even sweeter on the Michelin's. The quarter-mile part is where I think you have to get sticky no matter what to get into the 9's.
As you know though Mark, the best part of these 2+ and 3 kits is knowing that you have one of the quickest street machines out there on tap and you can talk on your Bluetooth while taking your wife to dinner in style. Win! The big turbochargers are just more of that.

I agree, and yes your not going run 9.80 on street tires, I think you can get the MPH 1/2 mile on street tires. great job on the Turbo's
Cheers bud. This is how I look at it. The 918 has wider and more aggressive compound tires out of the box, more TQ/HP, negative lag and is cream of the crop. That gets it into the high 9's. Some badass 997's have done it with sticky rubber. Let's get it done with these cars!
For the record I'm a firm believer that the Agate cars will be faster hehe
