I agree, this includes SHOs with the Stage XVIII bolt-on package along with those nifty little
torque limiters SHO Shop sells.... :-D Seriously though, the lack of torque makes most of the
power unusable, esp. with most the power in the higher RPMS, you ain't gonna get anywhere fast if
you're on that excessively LONG band of no HP or TQ (lower RPMS). I'd also like to bring up a very
important fact. Not many road race their SHOs. Not many go to drags to race their SHOs either (and
if they do, most of them don't crack into the 13's) with MANY mods. I've seen SHOs w/ full
bolt-ons run 14.5s and bone stock SHOs (Ryan Pasch) run 14.5s on a BONE STOCK Gen 2 MTX SHO! I'd
say stick with the OEM power and get yourself use to what you have (by legally pushing yourself
and the car to you best) and then mod it up. SHOs are sensitive enough stock, let alone modded.

I just realized how far-off this is from a squeak on the side of the dash, so i changed the
subject.
