Last night out, I noticed that the majority of atmo VL I could beat. All I have done to the car is a K&N pod filter.... whats the go? As far I could see the engine is standard. What mods could I check for to see whats been done? Also how do you other people (both turbos and atmo) to other cars around the joint?

Hey man,
Its possible you have a bigger diff in there... bigger diff gears will aid in getting you off the line quicker.
The only other thing i can think of that might make you quicker (beating them) is that they might not know how to handle the sheer power of an Atmo
