Oh there's the tune...


I'm sure he's got more up his sleeve.
i can attest to the nastyness of this car.

Dude last night said he was pushing 23-25psi...but his no-lift-shift function wasn't working because of a different blow off valve, so he dropped into vacuum during shifts. So that may have been his only disadvantage during that race lol.

I couldn't say how much power, I don't know those cars very well. But I do know that in our second no-holds-barred race, he wasn't able to catch me
