Lets you operate the gate independant of boost. Also allows you to run higher boost and gives the advantage of bleeding off backpressure.

Looking good man. Were you at all surprised when I called your 60's so close? What did I say, something like it would go a 1.57-58 and it went a 1.59, 3rd run I called a 1.47-1.49 based off our tuneup changes and sure enough it went a 1.47. Good job yesterday on that slick *** track.

dam man your car looks like it leaves so smooth and soft, but its so dam fast its crazy. I was expecting it to jump out harder than that (not knocking your 60ft times-they are great, its just looks are deceiving, and its deceivingly fast as f**k) lol wheelie bars might be whats keeping your car that "smooth" on the launch
