What does the Rotrex give you that the stock doesn't? Would you go Rotrex if you were just starting or something else?

I really want to know who it is and see the car out on the track.

Sorry if this is off topic, but can you data log my car before my track day on the 28th and make sure its running just right. I also went back to a oem bpv so you might be able to bring the rev's down and take some fuel out. The car is running hella rich.

you have changed parts on the car since it was dyno tuned. It should be back on the dyno. I'm going to be out of town again for quite some time, better get over to Church's quick. You can see the Rotrex car while you are there

I'm running a Thumper head and NS1 cam, 17% pulley w/Meth ... would it be a good match for the Rotrex?
