Nearly every day I think to myself, 'damn, my car is fast and powerful...' and I only have about 170hp at the wheels. So 351 whp is beyond my power of comprehension.

Skip the HP..........look at that TQ curve. WHOA! 260 lbs of concrete churning TQ. a ~9% gain in TQ is something that you can really feel even with the uncalibrated butt dyno, and at a measly 19lbs of boost.

CONGRATS to the Project Team!

Just for a little prospective, Longboards "weapon" makes more HP at the wheels than my "X" 69 Z28 DZ 302 which was a pretty potent street car, even by todays standard.

Great numbers LB...... Living proof that good things come in small pacages....although I know a blues guitar player from Texas.........
