BP turbo setup fill the gaps

Do you really need the damper and billet oil gears if its not a pure track car?
I have been running ~300rwhp for 2 years now on new stock bearings and forged rods/pistons (supertech/m-tuned).
Use the car almost everyday and run ~7-8 track days and 2-3 drifting events every year.
No problems with the engi so far. Biggest problem for me has been gearboxes.
Also.. what do you need 400rwhp to? my car is at ~300rwhp and do rolling burnouts in 3-4 gear....

He doesn't need 400whp. He needs to ride in a car with like 250whp then say, "this is only 250whp?!? This thing is fast!!!" Miata people who say they need 400+ whp crack me up.

Parts like throttle bodies, dampers, and oil pumps aren't required to make the power, but if reliability is important, they should be on the parts list.

6258 with all the supporting mods and the good stuff in an MSM.
Also OP is right when he says that every third family car is a cammed LS1, its a joke, 6L V8's are in every second grocery getter here..
Honestly, that video is not a huge exaggeration. Here we have powercruise and summernats etc, events when people show up in daily driven big block 70s utes and do powerskids, where you do a burnout with no brakes and try to make it a kilometre.
A ******* kilometre.
I know america is the v8 motherland but here every man and his dog runs his kids to the school in a 400hp sedan. Like, On my street my closest neightbours go
LS7 commodore-cams intake exhaust tune etc/5.0L commodore worked also.
WRX
323
Hilux
XR6 turbo (500whp)
LS1 commodore
Corolla
Mazda tribute/LS1 commodore
xr6 ute.
It goes on.
HOWEVER, I still agree with all of the yanks in this thread, My first guess is that OP hasnt been in a turbo MX5, come to newcastle Ill take you in a few, bring your mates HSV's, I dont mind making a bit of easy cash.

Money spent on 3 dampers and pulley bosses should have been spent on a 949 damper but it didn't exist then
