Wow I'm surprised this didn't turn into a hate war...luckily I think me not being here had something to do with it. Thanks all for keeping it funny. This definitely gets my vote for one of the funiest threads ever in the F/I forum..

Thumbs up

I didnt read every response to this but I will promise you all one thing....

Numbers dont lie, I dont care who spools 100rpm sooner, or who can be tuned more easily. As soon as I get my now Turbonetics equipped Z to the 1/4 track, every other single turbo will see my tail-lights, and bow down to my times and traps That goes for many of you TT guys as well Flame on....

Thats what I am scared about... my rear end BREAKING on me... ive never launched a car with this much power and am scared i might break a axle or somthing... I might do a ***** 3800ish launch right at boost with slicks ill see how it holds up!
Any Suggestions out there from guys who have done it with STOCK rear end?

+1 for APS ST, which my old sig used to indicate... I would like to ride in a Turbonetics sometime to get a real comparison, however. Any TN guys in Vegas?

You have no traction because you're sitting in a puddle of oil that has seeped out of your intercooler. The Tnetics guys have no traction because we're making power. (OK, I know that shot was after the whistle, but I couldn't resist )

I understand you've proven that your one hell of a driver...but you'll soon learn its not the same situation anymore. You may be able to launch a few times with E.T. Streets, but keep it up and your rear axle will eventually be toast. All it takes is one good hard launch for that thing to go.

Thank you Captain O, tell me something I dont already know. You pay to play...
