That is the truth. I have no noticed today that even the salt provides just enough "something" under the tires... Get it rolling, halfway thru the intersection, more throttle... spin em up!

Factory rating is 250 hp / 260 lb-ft with the 5-speed (222 lb-ft w/ the auto).

It's doing about 20# of boost with the Stage 1 upgrade. Even with the limited slip diff in the front end, it's an F'in handfull. Torque steer all over the place. You need to have a good grip on the steering wheel.

Exactly. Todays cars are basically self sacrificing.

Particle... that is what I'm talking about. Nice toaster. I always liked them. They look so sick if you bag em. Of coarse, what doesn't right?!?

Is that PSIA or PSIG boost?

Good question. Not sure. Will need to ask. I'm going off my boost gauge in the dash.

For BOOST on my model the Tech2 shows PSIa. The gauge, PSIg. I reported gauge psi about 20psi. It use to do 23 or so. I need to have the dealer check the waste gate...

I've read 22psi above ATM is the highest achieved...which is really alot of boost for a gaser.

I managed to fit a ton worth of driveway stone in my half ton truck this week. I couldnt make it into the driveway because I would hit the hitch on the sidewalk, had to shovel some out to get in.
