Suffering from a severe case of Whiplash as result of Doug's car!
In case you need a definition
whip·lash Pronunciation: 'hwip-"lash
n.
1: an injury to the neck resulting from rapid acceleration or deceleration
So I went up to Boost Solutions and got a ride in Dougs car
Doug did three shifts and each one chirped the tires. It felt like he launcehed at 6000RPMs three times in a row
392WHP and 374TQ will give you an adrenline rush. Not bad for stock turbo
Doug believes he can get more out stock turbo since he hasn't pushed car to it limits yet and he plans on bigger turbo. To be honest he doesn't need to introduce LAG from a bigger turbo since his car is pulling like crazy
400WHP with very little lag and 11 second car is what most people would be happy to have
*Also Doug installed my cam gears based on what VISHNU told George which was to set it to -5. The problem was he was not told to retard the cam gears one tooth plus -5 for total -12.5 which is what VISHNU does. Not big deal now since my car was fixed and I now have 310WHP.
Peace,
Snoop

The only differences with our gears is that you align the gears themself to the cam cover marks with the red dot, not the zero mark.
