Im about 400hp, i beat up on the mustangs but im also 2wd. I have not raced a newer gt though. I usually win every match on the street. But not everyone is putting hard parts on their truck they put a superchip on and think they have a monster.

My favorites are hemi trucks i kill them i always give them a wave forward to get a headstart. They laugh, until i run them down. Ill let out let em think they are winning then floor it again hahahaha.

headgasket will hold up to around 45-50psi boost pretty easily i know . 400hp is enough to pick on stock mustangs, camaros (older ones) gas pickups. be careful who you line up with though , they might surprise you! my mustang dynoed at 500rwhp and looked completly stock! i picked on a lot of diesels with it because they had 650hp i would retorque the headstuds and you don't need to replace the kdp, just put a tab over it, lots of videos on youtube on this

Just depends on how much fuel you are running. You can make just about as much power as you want on a single turbo, the disadvantage is it will be laggy and take a while to spool. With a properly set up twin kit, you can get the same amount of power but it will light much quicker, drive pressures will also be lower.
