it's gonna feel alot looser than your brother's power-adder stall. His will be much tighter than yours out of boost; that's the nature of things. FWIW all of the vig stalled cars I have tuned IMO feel really sloppy under stall compared to most off the Yanks. People with Vig converters will probably jump in and have a fit, but after driving and riding in LOTS of them, that is a fair overall estimation.

I'll second that, my vig 3800 was very loose compared to my Yank 4000.
