Gday guys, Finally bit the bullet and am going to an auto. 500rwhp rated re401a. Ive got the choice of having engine braking or no engine braking. Whats everyones oppinions? Car is 99% daily driver atm. Will only see the strip a few times a year. Also just a general opinion on how a 3000rpm stall will match with, 35/40 .82 rear, wade 818b cam, and all the usual other mods? Cheers, Ian

With that amount of power i woudn't have thought the car was ever going to be a daily driver with engine braking,compression lock up etc.Unless you like seeing flashing blue lights in your rear view mirror all the time?

Well it wont be a daily driver for ever, But for a few more months atleast until i get myself something else. Even then the closest strip is 400km one way. So just want to know whats going to be better for the street really.
