it's ungodly a big difference between my buddies car and mine(sig) and I used to think his was fast, but after buying this car, holy cow!! It rips it's way to the rev-limiter so F'n fast it's just almost unbelievable.

The main difference is that the car will pull up top unlike stock and it will pull insanely hard up top (given that you have a medium to large cam and your rev limiter bumped up. Just take a ride in a H/C or cam only car and you will be amazed.

30% increase in power = loading your pants 3x as much.

So you'll feel it in your laundry detergent costs if nothing else.
