Why would you want the boost to come in faster? For a street car I would want it to come in on the big end to help control traction even though 1200rwhp is going to to a challange to control traction reguardless when the boost comes in. LOL

It spools quicker on the street because it is under more of a load. It seems with all of the big power turbo cars we have been building lately we need to get a load bearing dyno

also i'm kinda confused....it makes 1200 to the wheels on race gas, but it's on street tires/rims. so which is it....a race car. or a street car?


or is it a dyno queen?


cuz i just don't see him rolling around everywhere with 109 in the tank and then expect to drag ppl on stockers.

the stockers have drag radials and we always roll around with the good gas.
