I dont think thats the issue. I think its a 700-1000HP car with MASSIVE lag and HP that kicks in very hard. I would hate to drive that thing.

Foot goes down...

Wait 3 seconds...

Tires start spinning.

No thanks. Put a reasonable size turbo on it and minimize the lag.

to further his explanation, it also retards timing A LOT to ignite the fuel in the exhaust stream essentially turning the turbo into a little turbine jet engine. the turbos usually dont last that long with antilag.

what I love is the he is heating up street tires that makes it even worse. They dont get sticky they get slicker with heat unlike a DR or slick.

CORRECT! Especially the level you need to help spool up a gargantuan big single (as used on mega hp MKIVs).
