Uh, are we drag racing or what? Plus most cas with turbo on the staging
line just don't make much boost because the rpms are not that high. Unless
you have a 5000 rpm stall converter and a Transbrake (mine will have that).
If running on the lakes or Maxton, no need to build lots of rpm and drop
the hammer. Smooth acceleration is what is called for (aggressive, but
smooth).
my 2 cents woth and worth every penny!
