No it dumps straight down but even then my wastegate is closed 90% of the time unless i'm spooled. Driving around I'm really quiet, but once I get on it the wastegate opens and all hell sounds like it's breaking loose. I let off and it's back to quiet plain jane.

Ill see if I can upload some pictures. I just got a new laptop, and none of my pictures are on here yet.

Yeah get some pics up. His birthday is next month and he wants "an old beat up grand national" as he says. He wants to fix it up which means he wants me to fix it up while he sits in it and plays with the dials lol. Might be a good learning experience and appreciation if I do get him one when he's a little older, but can't quite drive. This way when he does drive he'll have that appreciation for the work that went into it for years before hand. I never had a project like that with my dad growing up so it might be really fun.

My cars not fast but it runs better on the street than it should. I just tell people its a 13 second car and go from there. On the street ive taken down cars that claim high 12's. Of course theres alot of kids around here with cars that should be fast that either cant drive or are beat to hell and back. I think that helps quite a bit to, most of the fbodies rolling around here are beat to **** pos z28's that some 16 year old got at a buy here pay here lot.

That would be a great idea. I think he is already on his way to working on cars and bikes.
