Its possible. I hate throwing virtaul dyno numbers out here, but they are close to being right. My vd readings show me at 576hp. This is on an hta86 at 30psi on pump. I would think its safe to say I am over 500whp on a dynojet. As for a mustang, dunno, but Ill find out next friday at buschurs! lol

I daily my car since I've decided not to sell it. It is a PITA to drive. I have more fun driving on low boost (550 hp) then on high boost (700+). The reason being there is no reason to have that kind of power on the street. Most fun I had in my car was when it had 420ish on a BBK. Now it's a little bit of a chore.
I say all of that but once I punch it I'm all smiles and I forget about civility.

ive been over 500whp for 2years now and i daily drive my car in all seasons plus i have no garage so my car realy hates me. if you get the right clutch then you wont notice much of a difference. i had a ACT xdss that shifted like ****, a qm twin that shifted great but sounded and drove like a racecar, now im on a carbonetics tripple that is the best yet. has little noise, shifts perfect, and street driving is as easy as a stock clutch.

i daily drove my 665whp evo with 272 cams, exedy twin disk, garret 35r and fic 2150cc injectors... all in which are a pain to drive with on their own.. but with a proper tune and appropriate driving you can drive it just fine.

track cars are def not street friendly, but as far as a full car should be with a higher hp setup witha bigger turbo is very streetable because you can let it lag and stay out of boost nearly all the time if you prefer

i enjoy driving my evo on the pump 92 map (580+whp) more so than on the e85 map (700+whp). the car isn't exactly the most comfortable, is loud, and where i live, don't really get the chance to do any pulls to get the most enjoyment out of the power. most of the high horsepower guys only get to enjoy the power on the drag strip. with that said, my built 2.4 has been going strong for more than 10k miles now, with countless dyno pulls and several drag passes.
