replying to the other dudes comment an anks well till now there is nothing? but about going straight i see off the line how it goes pretty shaky then straightens up new slicks should help when the boys get her out again. Quote: Originally Posted by JPC-JET too bad its on the bottle, would of been better if it wasnt! oohhh do they use the bottle? maybe you can shed sum light is it used the whole track or just to spool it up jpcjet? coz its a very very big diffrence if its for spooling or whole track use two diffrent things.

they will tell u themselves as im sure they have b4 that they use the bottle, the sole purpose being to spool the turbo up without waiting on the line for 2 minutes
