Only went 11.41 @ 119, haha, I am very impressed by the setups.

I agree, I don't see a prob with the setups, they have been PROVEN, if infact they have a slightly longer spool time, so be it, WILDE went a 11.4 @ 119 in a heavy tank, seems like they work pretty damn good.

Naah It's plenty for 6psi at 4700'.

And I'm sure they will jump in to defend them as well. There is a big difference between knowing only what you have and knowing what is possible.

they just don't know any different. Its like people that drive Ford Focus and think they're fast, just because they don't know what fast is...

It has been said about the STS that it has a slow lag time, but they really aren't that bad. This is a great example. Take a 10.5:1 compression 5.7L engine and put a small turbo on it and the spool is about the same lag as a stock turbo car. Just don't put a turbo on it that you'd normally put on there if it were a front mount. The correct way to show lag is to go from an off idle launch. No pre-loading. Not many turbo's have very much lag when you go from a roll.

Good point. With my new engine it take to about the middle of an intersection before all hell would break loose....
