kyle why did you go with such a big radiator? looks kinda funny sitting like that too it's probably because it's offset but it's still big compared to the ones I've seem around here.

The Boost controller is not speed based, it is time based:
Some Features of it:
It Controls:
Burnout Boost
Launch Boost
And it has a time based graph that you set your boost levels, the timer startes once the Launch Boost (Transbrake) is released. You could set 100 different boost levels for one pass if you wanted.
