It does bog a little....but only by comparison of how hard it pulls in the power band. When I ran the busa (-1/+3) from 60... we both started out of second gear. His bike with more tq and much steeper gearing didn't pull at all on an even start and once mine came into the power... it was over

should be fun, i can't hook 1st gear... if i could I'm sure id be a different race. let me know, I'm always down for a fun run.
even just to keep up with the bike on a higher roll would be impressive to me.

Thanks, I'm very happy with how the car runs. I honestly was expecting it to be a good close run, my car is just a lot faster then I thought it would be. I'm only on lower boost right now, never turned it up due to spark issues but I think I have that straightened out.

i started in 2nd. i have a zr1 tr6060 with 325/50/15 mickey thompson et street 2's so 60 in 2nd is a great speed for my setup, puts me right at 4k rpm so the turbos just insta spool since the car hits full boost at 3800ish rpm normally.
It was actually 55° outside the night we raced to the car just Flat out works. I dead hooked. I honestly was expecting a spin fest but my car just hooks like no other lol.
my car hits so hard off the hit that 2nd gear even with the tall gears and tall tires is like 1st, its incredible really. the entire time I'm pulling him I'm in 3rd gear, its setup absolutely perfect for rolls.
The setup is a ERL 427 with prc 255 heads, TTIX twin turbo kit with precision ball bearing billet wheel 6265's on 14 psi right now.
I won't mention the subies setup, he likes it to be secret, I will just say it's the fastest Subie I've ever seen and been in... We are good friends, like I said tho, it has pulled on a 770whp gtr... And that's not a dyno happy number either.
he only jumped because he left on the count of 1 and i wasn't ready lol... he is known for jumping but he said his ebrake wouldn't hold him back enough (brake boost) so i just chased him down.
I haven't weighed my car since it had a blower on it but back then it was 3125 without me in it, I'd say it's around 3200lbs that being on the high side. I plan on taking it to a scale soon and see exactly where it's at. For some reason the car has always be light even with all the added weight from the extra parts.

Yea you will need c6 cradle, c6z rear. If you have coilovers you can run ur stock c5 control arms, if you do not you will need c6 control arms and the c6 Spring. I used the adapter trans mounts from rtk56
