It's never done till the fat lady sings or the fat guy gets in trunk. Will you ship one of these with each kit or do we need to supply our own fat guy?

Was this Vishnu's only magazine obligation? Could it possibly be time to turn up the boost!? or is there another shoot coming up?

Hey, I resemble that remark, and I wouldn't consider myself a fat guy being 6'3" 225lbs.

There is a HP/TQ limit to how much 1st gear can handle without just blowing off the tires every time, even with slicks and an LSD. Having a gear-dependent boost feature will allow this to be dialed in much easier. I have 4 times the $ on traction mods than I do engine mods and I'm still having trouble getting first gear to hook up unless I reduce boost linearly to level that makes the car not as fun to drive in the upper gears. Perhaps you can bring this back. Thanks.

Andreas at PPF builds some nasty ass cars over there. Nuts really. He held the BMW 1/4 mile record for years w his e30. I think one of his pyramid HG's will be the next I run when I build my engine. 'reduce torque' lol

here is a fun one from this weekend. launch testing with MT estreet 2's on the street. spinning 1st and 2nd gear. Somewhere in the 3 second range 0-60. 60mph is 6,200 rmpms. redline is 7,200 and 70mph. safe to say I nailed the shift into 2nd.
