I'm sorry, but any car with 1400 rwh is in no way a street car. Even the Bugatti Veyron is no where near that in RWH (it's engine dyno HP) and it has all the engineering and technology money can buy. One can hang a set of plates on any race car and drive it around but, neither you or your car will be happy with each other for long. Having a true 450 rwh car with close to 600 pound feet of torque for more than a decade I have found that it's just about the most you can use on the steet. The fact is that there just is not room enough on any road to be able to use any much more than that amount of horsepower, unless doing time for manslaughter is appealing to you.

the only real modification you'll REALLY need to make with 1400 horsepower for a street car is a LSD. Proper alignment is a must also. If you're planning on tracking the car, definitely look for some more adjustable end-links, lcas, ect.

Just replace all your bushings and get yourself a rear end with an LSD. Are you going with a manual or automatic transmission?

I've known several people with street cars that are up there that I've ridden in. The CFT mustang for example. I used to live right up the street and I know for a fact that guy drives that thing everyday even in florida hurricane style rain.

Ummm, yeah. Maybe you should check out what goes down in South Florida. A lot of big numbers running around down here. My close friend himself runs around on 1100 all day, full trim, no reductions, built un-stroked motor, E85, on 20's. The car is beyond streetable with not a single hiccup or issue. So to say it's not a street car is dependent on what YOU consider streetable. You can have whatever power you want on the street, it just comes down to your ability to drive it and the setup on the car.

throw out the whole rear section and do a 4 link with a for 9" if you are really making 1400hp and you have alot or parts to pick from with a ford 9".. and it will still handle great..

Some of you people are silly. It's not like the car is making 1000-1400hp constantly. With a turbo large enough to support that kind of power you are going to REALLY have to lay into the throttle at high rpm to be making those large numbers. You can *****foot around all day long at part throttle and make the same amount of power as a stock vehicle....
