These are the power limiters in order. (Please note for nitpicky sperglords that I'm greatly simplifying and ballparking this for the sake of easier discussion):IMO kinda, oem+ type pump solutions I would consider FBO. Is it the pump or the injectors that reach duty cycle/flow limits first? (Is there value it a pump upgrade for us on 93 w/o port injection?)
Stock turbo up to ~500 WHP --> overcome with a turbo upgrade
Stock axles up to ~500 WHP --> overcome with DSS axles (this line item only applies to hard launching on sticky tires)
Stock LPFP up to ~575 WHP --> overcome with an LPFP + port injection upgrade
Stock trans up to ~650 WHP --> overcome by building the transmission with Jack's, Pure, etc.
Stock motor around ~700 WHP --> overcome by building the engine
Personal hot take and sidenote:
I see some in this thread casting shade on ethanol (e85 fuel). You're missing out, if you have access to it. BIG TIME missing out. It makes more power than gasoline. It runs the engine colder than gasoline. It's safer for the engine than gasoline. Exhaust gas is colder than gasoline, and exhaust gas runs your turbo. It has oxygen molecules for cooling and power that gasoline does not. It's 105 octane race gas that comes from a pump, and it's cheaper than gasoline. If you have access to ethanol, and can afford to install a flex fuel sensor, it's a bit daft not to run with an ethanol/gasoline blend in the tank.
Running ethanol is no more or less difficult than pumping gas. And ethanol is not remotely like methanol: it requires no controllers, no nozzles, no injectors or pumps. METHanol is a powerful tool with many complications. ETHanol is a powerful tool that comes from the squeeze of a pump. Again, if you have access to it, running an e85 blend is fantastic way to add power and safety to the car.
