yeah sheesh! and how long is a damn d series making 300 hp going to last? a day? a week? LOL

the most i've seen a stock d series make is like 230 ish... and that's on 11-12 pounds, which is MUCH higher than i'd feel safe with.

a j32a2 is 260hp & 232 torque. tell me what STOCK d series with a turbo kit makes that ??

from wikipedia on the j30a4
"Output for the light weight 250 lb (110 kg) J30A1 was 200 hp (150 kW) and 195 lb·ft (264 N·m) of torque"

ive seen j32a2s on a shipping scale weigh in right over 312lbs
