Oh and in terms of public roads - I fully agree with you. I do currently take the Z to the track...as its basically born to be there...and plan to return with the HP increase. That's not to say that it's uncontrollable or won't be fun but just that I'll have to be exponentially more careful than now - where I basically can't get too crazy with the accel pedal.
With just over 500 whp/440wtq, the Z is still pretty manageable. I'm not saying it won't try and kill you, but as long as you're not unreasonable with your pedal inputs, it's still pretty predictable.

Spoolers world is totally different than mine though.

Yeah, I went off the deep end. I was real happy at 718whp. Now I have pushed it up to where it is a handful. My level of crazy is a tad higher than most.

This is the realm I’m expecting to be - helpful to hear you’re experience

Spooler, apologies on lack of familiarity- are running a TT kit of the like? That’d be fun but I don’t think it’d be wise for me to chose that route ha ha. Though my subie build was 410whp/450wtq and I thought that’d be good...and here I am planning a 500+ whp build so :shrug:

Btw, just a follow up: it’s looking more and more like EcuTek will be both the features I’d prefer AND necessary for the build. I’ll likely be selling my UpRev cable/license.

BP single, large twin scroll turbo, spools around 3k. Tame throttle inputs = low boost, manageable car. Roll onto the throttle and it grabs just fine. Launch it in first, and yes you'd better have good tires and a warm day, that's your greatest chance of danger. It'll absolutely break loose the rear periodically if you just hammer the pedal, but you'll know what you did, it won't really surprise you unless you're just not used to driving a turbo.

Very manageable.
