There are one or two out there. Why bother with a meaningless number such as HP. Keep your money in your wallet. Brad

Sounds like you want 300 horses daily... and a bottle. Why haven't you looked into nitrous and a Progressive controller so you do not blow it up?
I wouldn't look at the horsepower number... you want TORQUE.

Yea 300 350 just looking to have a decent street car and yes thats what im really looking to make bigger torque numbers torque is what gets you there hp keeps i could get a bottle but dont reallywanna have to spray all the time to get from up under a victum lol
400-500hp is doable. Many have hit that mark (and more LEEO/TURBO6X2/BOOST231... HOTAIRGNX548, ERICSINGER, TURBONUT85, MIADE2D), but they ALL took different routes. The best way you can get to this range is to start a 100hp at a time. LEEO started this REVOLUTION many years ago. LEEO had to fab a lot of the parts. He ran 10's with modded stock headers and a modded downpipe w/wastegate. You will have to fab many parts as many of the above have. Many of the above also tune their cars... It is doable, you just have to have determined

Ok fair enough ill figure some things out come up with a combonation and go from there im low12s high 11s is what im shooting for as it being a street car i can just bring out on the weekends thanks for your input you guys
Get a binder and print. This articles will help you. Jukka Lamminem and Marka Gallina both used Duttweiler to run low 12' and hi 11's in a HOT AIR. They didn't have the benefit of using a Turbo Tweak chip or a 86-87 ECM, so you WILL be ahead of the game with a conversion. Your biggest hurdle will be fabbing downpipe. Porting your heads will give you the GREATEST HP gain. Ported heads require lower less boost to make HP.
Use the search button and print. In order for you to run a HOTAIR, it will run its fastest on the EDGE. You will have to learn to tune. Take notes and log what worked and what didn't.

Hey Bob what are your modifications on your car to hit high 12's.
Congratulations Bob. This is what I have been talking about. Bob took 4 years of research, time and hard work to build his car. Seat time and dyno tell the story. Not sure where his boost was on these runs, but 350-375hp should get him in the high 11's if that is where he is going with car. Not sure if there is a correction factor at Vegas like in California/Colorado. Again GREAT JOB and keep on representing the HOT AIR crowd...
BTW, I bet it was NICE to come back to the pits and everyone looked under you hood looking for a intercooled motor.

My mods are in my signature.. boost level was 14 to16 psi . boost getting a little out of control at the top of 3rd gear, working on that. my alky kit is not tuned on yet. i ran out of injector above 5200 rpm and when the boost got above 18 psi. mods in the next week or so new ea stage 2 trans , 2800 stall converter, 80# injectors and a 430lph fuel pump. Dyno runs were on a loaded dyno that mimiced the cars weight during acceleration.

yes this was a good weekend . there is a grojup of guys with buicks here in vegas i have meet and most seemed impresssed with my hot air car which most have never seen in person or seen modded for performance. some of the conversations turned to " i could be faster if you convert it" prior to the weekend now th conversations are " work on this work on that and you will be in the 11's or faster" great bunch of guys and learning a lot
