Chris if you are really interested check out the turbocharged, nitrous injected pinto in the April 99 issue of Hot Rod on page 108. This four cylinder produces about 400hp running high 10's in the quarter at 118mph.
: Hey!
: Just a quick question i thought i'd post here. A friend has been telling me all about his Porsche (i believe '86 or so) 944 Turbo, and bragging about 520 dyno'ed horsepower!! Now, i admit i don't know a whole lot about porsches, but 520 sounds just insane for a four-banger. He's done about all he can to it, high-flow turbo, headers, intake, the works...but i just seriously doubt his hp! Any thoughts on this, can a four-banger REALLY get that much hp without throwing a rod or losing a wall???
