I thought there was some dealer in the states otherwise think directly from racelogic.I am still thinking about getting the system but not this season. First going to get the power to where I want it to be max and then try ramping in the boost with the eboost2. Think can do it by rpm not sure about by gear and going auto ,they do it by solenoid on the manuals I think? That ams is think better controller but didn't know where to mount it the eboost mounts nice.
Anyway done any ramping with the eboost 2 and how did it work out and what type of ramping did you use?

Ramping is the key to running big boost or that variable traction control. Course tires do make a big difference but I didn't want to run drag radials 24/7. Currently the 275/17 nittos don't really help all that much in the lower gears.

Too much power (assuming you have enough tire) is when you don't ever floor it because you're not sure you can stay in one lane and crashing is a 50/50 possibility.

It all depends pm the specific car. If tires hold it, the skys the limit. For instance a fwd car that spins from anywhere below 70 whats the point. On the flip side, UGR's twin turbo Lambo thats 1400whp and doesnt really spin is a perfect street car. My friend with multiple twin turbo vipers, a pullied FGT with a 250 shot, and a numerous race cars said anything over 800whp is pointless on the street.

A true hot rodder wouldn't be satisfied until he built a car so sick, so totally insane that the act of dropping the hammer would result in instant death. Until then its not fast enough.

^^^thats a good one. It seems too me there isnt a limit unless you get smoked by a ricer with half the horsepower because he wants a dig run and all you do is spin. So that means you can ask yourself why did I spend 15grand on this turbo setup lol. (no this didnt happen to me, but would be pissed if it did haha).
