Anybody that refers to a turbo as "Stage 3" doesn't know what they are talking about. If they had say a T3/T4 76mm and corresponding ar # they would sound alot more intelligent.

That being said I think the Infiniti will give you the most trouble, especially if it has a few mods.

Re: Can I beat these cars?

Do you have a track close to you? That way you have definitive proof-time-slips.

no clue. late 90's preludes were rated at either 190 or 195 hp (depending on the year).

hp gains from a turbo depend on a lot of things. this was the only thing I found lol: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...1133046AAQVONN

he gained 50 hp, so I guess that's a decent guess?
