500 + hp and 14's....
. something is wrong here. we are not talking about 0-60 where wheelspin will be a big factor here. 1/4 mile is a long enough time even with initial wheelspin for that high hp and boost car to accelerate quickly. BTY a stock integra does low 16,s in 1/4 with only stock hp of 200hp.

Wheelspin plays a huge part in a powerful FWD. A friend of mine did a 14.1@117 in his fwd talon. Now 117mph is good enuff to get most ppl into the 11's quite easily. Now add more power, and traction becomes even more of a problem. I'm sure I could've spun the entire 1/4 with my last car. I couldn't even hit 3rd gear on a roll, cause I'd spin once boost hit. 1st&2nd gear were completely uselss even with a dual-stage boost control. And I was only making 361whp and 390ft-lbs. To get good ETs from a fwd you need slicks and hope nothing breaks if you hook.

he should hide his head when u run those times in a turbo ITR i lay low 11s in my turbo ITR, this is the type of guys that gives hope to those wont to be racers with a intake and a muffler, that always pull up to the car and i just laugh. and to the guys that said u should never boost a ITR dude u have no idea, the car is F**king crazy with boost, what a feeling to be pinned to ur seat threw each gear to 10000rpm, and just holding on at 26psi, and i not a small guy at 240lbs.

There is a reason why manufacturers rarely route more than 300 hp in a fwd set up. Once you take the steps to harness that power through the front wheels, you made your car into a one trick pony. You are facing an uphill battle against physics.
Im sure its a hell of a roll-on racer, though.
