Dowpipe size does make a difference!!
I recently dyno'd my 240 with a 2.5" dp. It made 380whp, 301tq. Not to bad, but not so great either. Today, Millenium made me a 3" dp and we dyno'd again, same boost, and made 411whp, 311tq...that's a 31whp gain for $290...not to shabby....just thought I would inform the turbo guys....Thanks....

1. stay in the throttle until you hear the revlimiter :
........A. If you are in 1st or 2nd, ride out the revlimiter until the car catches up with the motor/trans/tire speed.
you will be moving forward at a greater rate than what i heard you moving at today when you left a couple times. While i may not be a consistent 60ft'er, i can teach you how to 60ft your car.

Yeah, I definetly never take it to redline because 2nd puts in at about 70 or 80 and I'm not trying to get another ticket...

My 2nd only runs to 65ish, nice numbers.
