It makes the power a lot earlier but that's where he ramped it up from. Drive really nice around town, only has a 3500 convertor in it. But it's useless without semi under its bum. I haven't driven to much as its got no scoop and I don't want to get ****, before I can enjoy it.

Just got back from Calder. What a head ****. Lol. First my fuel line short out a cable and spilt the line, so had to block it off. First run **** burn out, just spun the tyres and throw the alt belt. Second run had to run on battery power, got a good skid and run sic off the line. And run a 10.03 @ 139 mph.
