500 whp and 475 of torque is flat out sick.... I love it

You have to watch out a bit though cuz the car when your on it in first and second, kinda likes to change lanes....

invest in a good racing harness, if you haven't already.

Full throttle in 2nd and 3rd hold onto that wheel, because the car will try and walk sideways on you.

Like being with a woman your not sure of as long as you have some good rubbers you should be safe . Great tires can make all the difference in the world as far as traction issues. I drove a 600HP stroked evo with RE01R's with basically no traction issues, but being it wasn't my car I didn't launch it.

as said above, the real seat-of-the-pants difference will more closely follow the new torque curve...

My engine is built.

When I went from 338whp to 391whp it was a big difference, what are you talking about Willis? Lol

The bigger turbo has a little more lag. If feels more powerful, but not that more powerful. I think the problem is that its just not fast to me, as I've gotten used to it. I want acceleration that sorta hurts. The feeling that your insides are floating in your body.
