Oh come on if you keep her in 2nd through the chicane it should be fine. Just stay in the high RPM range.

Tracking your car with a big turbo really isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, you just have to be in the right gear. I've run Portland with my current setup and lag was never a problem for me.

i think people are just spoiled with torque so early in the rpms on the stock turbo. try racing a honda with only a 2K rpm power band from 6-8Krpm. maybe then theyll learn to be in the right gear

Hehe, my kart's powerband starts at about 9k and goes up to 12.5k rpm's. Maybe I'm just used to not having much torque Though I did drag race it once at spokane and it ran way faster than my evo ever will.
