I don't know much about boost applications, but what you are saying sounds right to me.

No harm, no foul. I did not take it bad at all. Just proud of my car. I'm sure we all are! I could not BELIEVE that a 4200 pound sled could move like that, and that's why it is remarkable to me. Still is. And trust me on this one, it's MUCH faster now!

Regardless of what you know about boosted motors, almost anyone would agree that when you pressurize the intake, the HP goes crazy. And I used to drive a turbo car, it behaved very differently in the mountains of Kentucky than my N/A hot rod did!

So all I'm trying to get across is that if you're going to correct the time there should be some sort of "correction" for nitrous or boosted cars since they make their own "air".

Any thoughts?
