Hmm, more than 50-60bhp jets of N2O will put a lot of pressure on the engines inners. You will need uprated pistons, conrods and a gas-flowed head for starters. Also uprated brakes to slow you down quicker would help!

Hey Guys..
The "Superboss" is a bit of a legend here in Sunny SA. They are Delta(Opel) SA's motorsport version of the 20l 16v kadetts that we used to have here(1991-1992) - a homologation special for our 'Group N' racing class. Those things were bloody fast even in today's terms - 0-100km/h in 7.64s standard.... and I hear that was a conservative estimate. I've seen them stick with a new-spec Astra coupe turbo on the 1/4 mile.
Incidently I've personally seen them outrun many a VR6 too.
So what this means in layman's terms is that the Teamkrazy corsa is scary quick.
Krazy - I can arrange a race for you if you want... Bro has a CD 16v that is very similar in perf..
Will think 'bou you offer..

TeamKrazy, here in the UK i have seen a few SuperBoss's around but they are not as well known in SA. Here the big boys are Ford Costworths etc which is what we don't have in SA......
