Thanks guys. Goal was to have a daily driven car, sleeper, not blow, look clean, run 13.9 street tires.

Well, I know my Dad can vouche and maybe John if he reads this again, but we were doing 3rd gear pulls and before we started he asks "Ever driven a turbo car before?" I said yes once a buddies GS-T, but only to hear the BOV in the mall parking lot. Well we started at 5psi and after that pull I said "Nope, never drove a boosted car before." When we got to 10.5 psi and started rolling up to 3500rpm then flooring it to redline, I was shaking. We got back and I was silent. I didn't know if I wanted a turbo car anymore. Seriously, I was now deathly afraid of it. I still haven't gotten in it all since the pulls in 3rd. So that will tell you something.

The car does pull good. Not too scary, but for some one who has never driven one before, it can be a rush. You all know what it feels like. BUt the only ---- that scares me now are 500+ HP street cars.. I would never own one. :-*

try riding in a car that has 500lbs of torque and is rear wheel drive, now that is some scary ----, 200lbs of tq in a fWD car is measly

Here's the thing. Remember the thread about "What's a fast/quick car to you?"? Everyone had to be in the 12s to be quick or fast, right? My response, mid-low 15 sec car owns 85% of the cars out here. My buddy said our friend's sprayed GSR HAS to be running low 14s high 13s. It barely puts you back. I drove mine and at hotrex throttle in 2nd it pinned me. Yes, slow to you, to me very fast. Fastest car I ever drove. So, it's fun/fast to me and it's quick for the people in my town, only problem is the people going to say stuff like "10.5 psi? On a stock block? I give it 2 weeks." One kid "gave me" 2 weeks to blow it because stock pump on 10.5psi. I hate how I know what I'm doing and DO it, but others don't know and give ME suggestions on what to do. Thanks again for looking everyone!
