I see your car all the time back then @ GT when I stop by there.
Then, yesterday I saw your car on the street not sure if you saw me but I was in my yellow Z on 4th street by the 15 fwy. You were on the other side of the street. I can see your FMIC from a mile away. looks sick!!! I cant wait for my twins

Great numbers! have fun with it and drive safely. GT does great work.

I understand you have control over the gain settings, but I'm just curious why you set the gain lower for higher boosting cars?

I was under the impression that part of the point of getting a twin turbo kit with smallish turbos was to have boost come on sooner rather than later. Is it a safety reason to not let too much power come on at low rpms and hurt the engine? Having a lot of boost early around 3000-3500 rpms always seems to be one of the things people brag about with twin turbos

I totally agree w/ you as it would be a important safety step to have these...I think at some point, Sam actually suggested
them as a viable option, but i made the decision not to go with them. About 90 percent of all the pulls I do are from 2nd
to 4th, maybe an occasional freeway stint, but not very often.

To Paulie35th...I heard you honk as you drove by too, your car is pretty trick. I couldn't really hear or do anything cause there was this neon next to me revving like crazy. It amazes me how there is this instant comradery between z-drivers but
to others, you're considered the enemy. After I fractured my knee playing football on sunday my friend had to drive me to the ER...along the way we ran into a evo that wanted to go
My buddy wasn't interested in winning just wanted to see what the car could do...kinda funny, me being in pain and all. He got on it about 1/2 way, nothing too crazy and we were slightly pulling then he shut it down at 85. Lots of fun....

Setting the gain lower in the high boost setting will prevent any boost spikes.
