    Don't go in expecting numbers. Just go in knowing your car will be faster and smoother and the way it should be. You simply can not estimate numbers. Your car may or may not like timing, etc. Every car is different.
     
  25. true i know itll be better then it is now... hell i barely hit full boostin 1st and 2nd. and im running rich as sin. My friends say they hae to roll up there windows sometimes riding behind me. not to mention my MPG sucks... maybe 12 to 15 i might get 17 on my way up there.
