Shaun I always expect to much but I would never boot mine fully on the road as it will ave you as I said earlier 
but to give an idea of my car, steven darley reckons my car will have his stripped out wagon on the roads and since he has driven both 
But I still want mine to be quicker 
I actually drove on a single track country road at 85mph and bottled it after that as I didnt want to end up in a ditch? David wallis has drove at 140mph on virtually the same roads, I was just trying to see how bad it was
You don't have to keep telling me how the cars react on the road as I do know

scoobzie if I were you I would buy an md321t+ as it will do 500bhp on meths but it will also drive nice at lower bhp and will be the same price as the 321h but you will also futre proof yourself a little. I really can't understand on how you can jump from say wanting 550bhp to just around 400bhp ???? Do you actually have any modifications on your car at the moment ????

As I have said to get a 10second car in a newage sti you need 600bhp and say £20k and that would be sourcing 2nd hand stuff and probs a very long time off the road! 500bhp could be done for a lot less and still be in standard turbo fitmnet. with 400bhp in a newage sti I would seriously think its a high 12 second 1/4 mile car so miles and miles from where you want to be. Also of your friend has a 400bhp car I take it yours is standard ??? Keep well away from the higher bhp figure as its not a toy

just trying to think of obvious spend on say my car/others and this doesn't include any fitting. I haven't even started to get into parts and there is about £11k worth there and there is absolutely loads more needed ontop of that plus fitting. I think £20k is well pushing it on the cheap!!!!

Banny,
A proper 550bhp and driver skill will see a full weight Newage in the 10's!
Steve,
I give up trying to discuss 500bhp for road use with you.
You are right.... 500bhp is easy to drive and is absolutely fine for the road.

Have a look in the projects section on 22b. Morbs is running 10s (classic) on a 2.1ltr build.

550 newage even stripped out would struggle to get into the 10's, dam close but not quite.
Add Toyo 888 rubber and a dam good launch then maybe just

Scoobzie - I'm running 415bhp/380lb/ft on a 321H in a 2L newage (splash of meths too 
) Believe me, it's quick - quick enough for most roads and (very much agreeing with what Shaun says) I doubt that only the most skilled driver could really exploit significantly more power on the road. Why dont you go for a more modest power output spend some of your budget getting the handling and braking truly sorted?

Steve,
Dare I say, you may be heading for stress. You seem a bit hell bent on a 10sec pass, but based on your last performance you were way off, which *seemed* to be down to driver skill. Just practice with what you have mate!
I know John Curistan did a 11.02 with 550bhp on a 35. Full weight Newage. Richard Bulmer also (well... his 1/4m driver did lol) did a 10.8 in a MY02 RA, but full interior with circa 570bhp. But..... these guys can drive the 1/4 well and are brutal with the gearshifts.
I get's harder... not easier!
I REALLY do hope you get it mate!

I don't think I'm gonna get anywhere near a 10 sec pass as you said I don't think I'm good enoughbut the wheels are more about not ruining my 18" tyres as all the spinning off the line won't make them last long and 17" ones are cheaper . I'm also getting rid of my quickshift as that may be the cause of sooo many missed gears ?? The car will also do a little bit of dieting as I have taken the leather trim out temporarily and I'm going to fit some light weight seats in for track days. The leather seats weighed 4 stone each! So the car should be down to its proper weight of say 1350kgs soon

You alright on the road etc?
The reason I ask, is because I struggle in the Spec C at times, when I am trying to rush the change. I have been advised to double clutch.
