Whatever you do bro, you are only going to get quicker and have more impressive times. I want to drive a turbo car to see how much difference there is between twin t's and higher compression N/A power.

I know that for sure bro. That's why I don't want ride in a FI car that makes a couple hundred more rwhp then mine does. LOL

Fast birds numbers are comprable, but he makes a ton more torque. That's why I would like to feel the difference. Hopefully he and I meet up some time.

Still waiting for you to come out with your beast. I got mine downtown today. Too bad that I won't get out of work until 11pm. Maybe next weekend.

Yeah, now I've got to figure out to make it active only at a stop with the clutch in. I was initially planning on going through a momentary switch, but fumbling around trying to shut it off immediately after launching doesn't appeal to me. Clutch switch doesn't sound good because between shifts I could the box trying to harness the RPM's down to the limit. Thoughts?
