30 psi in the tires? I think it should read 30 psi of boost pressure, not tire pressure. I don't doubt the car is amazingly fast.... I just question the accuracy of the dyno that was used.
The T04R/Z is rated at 600hp and I know overboosting them (30psi) on a dyno, you can get away with 700hp and some change. Although, even if that T04Z has a clipped turbine wheel and a large 1.15 A/R housing, it's just not physically possible of producing over 800hp....sorry that's just a fact not my opinion.
To produce that much hp you would need to move more air and an 84mm compressor wheel isn't capable of it. The only way to explain this would be the dyno isn't correctly calibrated or the percentage of error is too great. Meaning they're fairly accurate with lower hp cars, but the percentage of error works in favor of the the higher hp cars.
Still, it looks every bit of 1000 hp and most people won't give it a second thought.

hahaha No freeking way.... my little SC cant push any thing like 1000 hp... i am maxing it out at 375 rwhp...now but it is untuned and has more to come for sure if i ever gert around to it.... 375rwhp is plenty for a daily driver and enough to have a ton of fun and be reliable and still run like stock. it keeps me smiling, plus...I built it myself.
With some slightly agressive tuning and the Water meth firing properly i can hit something over 400 to the rear wheels with not too much problem.... the motor is able to handle much more than i am pushing now with the solid and legendary supra short block
honestly i can't imagine ANY one who had near that amount of HP actually being able to use it in any way that is practical its more a dyno queen bragging rights target number........ to each his own...
95% of most people on these boards cannot handle 400 rwhp properly in this car....
