Much greater control on brake boosting at the tree.

Also, if you plan on running on test n tune/street nights the person in the other lane can wreak havok depending on when they stage. 488 is a lot of turbo on 6.0, it will take a couple seconds for it to fully come up.

I'm not familiar with what size wheels you plan to run, but if 15", small brakes necessary will have a very hard time holding high boost. The 4wd folk can hold much more on the footbrake.

Ah the joys of a procharger build. My **** hits the chip in just under half a second. I'd dare someone to try and burn me down at the tree.......but there is nothing to burn at the moment. lol

Burning down. Many ways around that.
If you have "X" amount to spend and thats your budget then you buy what can.
