EDIT:
This is not meant as an insult, it's hard to extract the tone of a message.

I'm just a little surprised it's taking 1.4 to 1.5 bar to make 700 hp. 
It appears the answer is to simply raise the boost? With the intercoolers being run, it wouldn't take long for the induction air to start detonating your motor.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Hamann is running over 1.2-1.3 bar. On some of the turbo's being run at the shootout, one pound of boost should produce about 30 hp. That would mean a tenth of a bar should produce about 35 hp.

rockitman,
It's actually 626 @ 1.2 bar (without nitrous). Let's not get carried away now.

rockit, I believe there is a whole lot more to my car than the hp.
