So greater psi number means more boost right?

Gosh... you have to do a lot to that little D block to crank out that much power eh?

I am happy with 200hp, let along 300! In this case, I think I will reconsider my GSR swap a little...

300whp is respectable regardless of setup...

SOHC or not - my hat goes off.

gatherer is right on the money, I pretty sure that SOHC setup is made purely for drag racing... it would be great if it belongs in a hatchback. The thing about the gears, sometimes having longer gears is best for top speed. The gears were designed to maximized the whole 220 km/hr range. With 300whp, it would be no problem getting there, so the gear is fine. With a turbo the torque level is pretty much up there. I would be more concern with the the spooling of the turbo, that's what twins are for or swap the turbines.
