The cool thing about the turbo I want to put in, is that it has a 'wastegate '. And if I understand that correctly, I am able to dial in how much boost i want whenever I want, so I won't always be running with 1000hp. And that 1000 also includes nitrous.
I was giving some friends a ride one night, and the car was definately heavy, there was probably around 700 lbs of people in my car. And we were cruising on the highway, and this 3rd gen rx7 ( i think, whatever the newest generation is) kept egging me on and we would drive neck and neck for awhile, then I said, ok, (trying to show off some), let's go. I floor it and the last time I looked at the speedo we were doing 125mph, then the rx7 passes me like I was standing still. That sucked. So, imho, you can never have too much power
If you want to check out the turbo yourself that I am thinking about

That's where it's at.
Oh, and I live in IL, and I would plan on running street radials. Probably the pirellis that are on there right now.
