Yes, you have to have dual calipers on the rear to stage the car. I have to pump the brakes up and hold them as hard as I can. I then put the gas pedal to the floor until she starts bangin off the three step. Then I stage the car.

No, we still use a transbrake. Once I light up the second bulb i grab the transbrake so it goes from the 3 step to the 2 step.

This is so far from the truth with turbo cars. You would murder your poor trans is you where on the brake the whole time trying to build boost.

When I had my master put in, and saw that yellow anniversary, was hoping that would be turned into a beast! But it appears you parted that thing out?

Wish I could travel to see that firehawk in action when it is ready to fly.

Hahah... is that hood going to burn?? You guys should chop the bottom of the intake similar to the Firehawk intake... then maybe fab something up of a "air tunnel" to the turbos?
