I managed to clock 300rwhp and run 12s in a car that weighs 3400lbs or more, thats not quite so bad. I also did it without even cracking open a valve cover or using any forced induction.

Ya thats the only bad part about having a turbo, you don't get much tq. Life is full of trade offs though.
With my cam/heads swap, I should have a bunch more pull on the highway. Before I seemed to pull to about 120mph or so and then it was bleh after that. I mean it pulled but not like it does in the rest of the powerband. I have quite abit of torque so I think thats why V8s do better even though we have lesser hp numbers. Sometimes thats a bad thing though if your not running sticky enough tires.
