Anyone in Louisiana (pt 2)
Ok, top end is when you get into the top end of your power band. A turbocharger will definitely give you significant gains on the top end as well as the low end if you know how to launch (which is something that I have to re-learn being at sea level, lol.) Just ask Wes, he rode in my car tonight, I can't work my clutch anymore. Ah well, it'll just take some getting used to.
Anyways, Jet, if you want a ride come to Lake Charles, man. I'll hook you up.

My water pump for the tank moves 1250 gallons of water per hour. Considering the tank is only about 1.5 gallons, I keep a pretty cool intake charge. As far as times, I haven't ran it yet. Below sea level in LA with some drag radials on 10 psi, I'm gunning for mid-low 13's but we'll see what happens. First thing is first, I need to put in a new clutch. That will be the first thing I do once I get back so I'll probably be putting it in next week sometime.
