Although we will eventually get legislated into enviro-friendly cars, we may still be able to smoke the Prius (or Smart) next to us.
I will now remove the noose from around my neck.

A custom built SS box.This car was a real challenge since it always stays in closed loop so the O2 sensor is constantly fighting against you. Split Second figured a way around it and we dialed thing Bosch Motronic box.The mixture was perfectly flat at 11.8 to 1 under boost.
