Right, but they were talking about the kit directly as-is with no changes. With one of their larger turbos, a larger IC and the fuel upgrades to match it would do the same. I'm not saying the powerlab isn't better because IMO it is; they had time to look at the current ST kits on the market and improve. The big powerlab kit like on the intense car has other modifications, like the full fuel system for one, that's not what comes with the standard kit.

You are correct, they also have a built engine like you which helps just a little bit.... haha

That it does.

Let me know the next time you are up this way. Maybe we can have that race and I'll do it right. LOL

I can't believe I turned my boost controller up that far. That could have been bad. I did it when we first got into town at the top of the hill in Prescott and I realized that I would be very rich at this altitude. It's because my wastegate springs are only 11psi so I have to use my boost controller to go above that. Well... I went to far and hit 15.6 instead of ~13 so my UTEC shut it down. I'm glad the safety features are in there.

If we do the next drive out where I was thinking it would be a lot closer to you too!

Instead of driving up to the north west edge of the city to start, we would start way down south and just go east. I've never been out that way but the AZ350Z guys sure like it.

I'm very happy I didn't go on this cruise... I lost 2 tires in 2 days.

1 due to a fatty nail sticking through the sidewall

and another blew out on me on the 17 north.
