oh and thanks for the feedback, seems these cars are capable of more than i thought
For me weight was a factor, it's a heavy car and IMO needs that low end torque to get it going. Heat was a factor as well, given my location I wanted an application that had better heat management than is typical of a turbo. I learned that with my last car. My car is a bit faster than several camaros I know that have more power then me. Their challenge is it takes them way to long to make their peak power. I hit mine damn quick. But you know what the say about opinions.
