I hate cars, you can make an engine do all kinds of crazy things, but I think we both know a 600hp tl would be undriveable. That amount of power to a FWD car would get you a lot of smoke, a lot of noise, and not a lot of speed. If you want something that fast, get a turbo e46, not a TL. It'll cost less, handle better, and most importantly, handle the extra power better.
I do agree though that if you're going to boost your car, you need to monitor at bare minimum boost and AF. Then again you could go all out and make this your interior...

My local tuning shop, Jotech, has built a 739Hp Scion tC that has performed flawlessly on the track & autocross events.

Not true.... If its part throttle driving around the city it could 14.5 : 1 or somewhere in the ballpark +/-. You just need to make sure you keep it around 12:1 or so when your wide open and WATCH the timing!
NVA-AV6 I agree with you
NA WOT - I like 13 to 13.5
FI WOT - 11.8 to 12.3 (some might say thats a little rich but just my experience)

I set my target AF at 12.5 on race gas and not meth.
10.0 when running meth on pump gas but stoich is lower on meth anyway.
Just for fun I've set the target at 15.7 for easy flat ground freeway crusing to see how much mileage I could pull out of it but it then requried premium gas to do so without detonation.
Nice to see people who know what they're talking about on this board.

Then he was doing something wrong. Jotech's is running on sponsored Nitto tires, but at 700+Hp, it still runs without any spinning unless it's floored.

It's very safe. 130 octane so it's very resistant to detonation.
You're no more likely to hurt the engine in the short term running rich on meth than you would on gasoline. However, due to the corrosive nature it's not a bad idea to shorten your oil change interval if you run it rich for a period of time.
For what it's worth I run a very large shot on the GN, around 20% of my WOT fueling comes from meth and I haven't noticed any ill effects.

Are you sure it's a true 700hp? On drag radials and 602rwhp I can't put the pedal to the floor until I'm going 70mph and even then it's a little squirrely. My car is known as one of the best hooking cars in town. Maybe he's on slicks?

You talking about Kenny Tran's shop right? My girlfriend's cousin are best friends with Kenny and told me he would buy and install my supercharger for 5k which, to me, is kinda overpriced. I'm heading to Dallas later on this year so I can see if anything he could do to our cars. And yes his Scion TC was going 700+ HP, but with basically a non-scion motor or whole car was rebuilt from bottom up, two fuel pumps, forged pistons, etc... They spent too much on that car anyways, with the money they spent they could've bought a M3, messed with the ECU, and other stuff and got 600 HP with a better looking car and engine!

For Kenny Tran's TC.
Imma contact him later next week and talk to him about anything he can do with my Acura TL. I just talked to my girlfriend's cousin (which his best friend) and they may take my car as a project and will do everything for free! Well, possibly.

You can ask Kenny, but I wouldn't be surprised if he can't find anything more for the TL than what's already available.
I think, though, he's more concerned with a GT-R they've been building up on.

The car is still 90% Scion from what Tony told me. And I highly doubt they care about the cost considering Nitto & a couple other sponsors basically gave them a huge selection of parts to build it.
