I'm not sure I believe you... I am lucky to get 20 all city driving.. but even still I don't approach 28 even on all highway driving.... and I'm STOCK!

.....you forgot to mention Nick's parents (especially mother) who condoned his street racing. (audio and video clips from published street racing videos where Mrs. Hogan talks about the rush of blasting throught traffic and dodging the cops!!!) Also, Nick had 2 speeding tickets with speeds exceeding 100mph before the age of 17!!!! way to get great guidance and discipline from his parents.

On the flip side of things, I find that I drive slower now that I have Twin turbos than without. Because you can get the rush of accelerating in such a quick burst, you don't have the need to drive like an a$$ all of the time. Just a quick sprint up to the speed limit and I'm good!!!!

ahh yesss, back on topic!

Congrats to Jeremy and the PF crew for getting the 1st TT HR out on the road. I know other shops have shown off their show cars, but here we have a real customer car that will be driven and get some real world testing and fun!!!!

So are you telling me that because you are F/I, that you should throw mileage out the window and be pushing your car all the time?
Anyone considering FI should keep in mind that once you do go FI your mileage WILL suffer, that's just a given. You don't go FI to just putter around town like you usually do, you boost! Therefore I still stand behind my comment: if you're so worried about mileage, well then FI may not be for you. My mileage has suffered, but I don't give a $hit because I have a 400whp Z

LOL that's exactly what my mileage computer says, but do I see that at the pump when I fill up? HELL NO. Once you get bigger injectors (like yours comes with) that number goes out the window

And I gotta LOL at the guys here saying "yeah I drove 400-500whp cars when I was 14" Who in their right mind would let a little kid drive a 4-500whp monster??

Famous last words. Boost is an addiction...once you take a hit....you will be looking for a greater high...and when you go too high...you wish you didn't.

Don't fight the powers that be....its stronger than any human. You will not be satisfied with that low boost for long.
