Its such a smooth steady pull it doesn't feel all that fast just because its so smooth and not peaky or violent.
Second gear will break loose if I roll into it at 5k. And ofcourse 1st gear is useless.
thats what its all about man. smoothness, theres nothing better then crisp constant power. i know exactly what your talking about, after my tune my car was a different animal.

The header was just a simple thing I did with a friend in a shed a few years back lol. And the intake is far far from ideal. there is more power to be had no doubt, question is is it worth all the trouble. Well I don't think it is for me at this point. But maybe end of summer or over winter ill re work some of the key parts and see what I can come up with. This power level is plenty to keep me happy for now.
exactly 259whp in car that weights 22-2300 is no joke regardless of how its made. the fact that your making that all motor when alot of people didnt think it could be done 5 years ago is awesome. enjoy it, run some really good times. over the winter get to work and see if you can make more.
the best thing about this sport is that we are always in contest with our selves and or motors to see if we can push that last hp out of it. at least for some of us right.
