yelcal, I would have to disagree, once a turbo car is setup properly there isnt much to maintain at all. On a SC car you constantly have the pump going out or guys who rebuild them once a year as maintenance and you have to watch IAT's like a hawk. I got rid of my scan guage when I went to my innovate gauges setup. No need to watch Iat 1 or 2 because they both display at the same temp in a turbo car. Detination due to heat is less likely in the turbo setup.
Just stating my two experiences with the SC and now the turbo.

you should have stayed on the blower a while longer so you could give accurate information

I'm not saying it's not possible, but knowing Nick, he's not going to put nearly as much work into his car as infredline is going too. And I don't agree with the last statement, I pretty sure that the guys who take their cars to Texas Mile, and the Chicago Half Mile event are perfectly capable of driving their cars. I mean I guess the UGR Lambos guys don't know how to drive 
I mean for me personally it's nice starting in 3rd so I don't spin the entire time haha
But anyways, like I said the TVS is fun but he's wanting big numbers. To each their own I suppose. Honestly if I had the time, I'd love picking up an IRL and TVS and getting a cam and building the motor and getting the full potential out of the TVS. It's sad but true, most that buy the TVS don't try and get the full potential. I was one of them, had it on my 06 SS, with cooling mods, fuel mods, meth and all that Jazz. Should have built the motor and done it right, but I gave up

If I were 1 of those Guy has TVS, I would had gone for 2.7 with 80# E85 and Long Tube Header along with LS4 TB. Of Course S3 Cams with NBS and NOS. What Y'all will think ? This will be 1 of the ALL HELL BREAK LOOSE! It'll MURDER Most Cars Out There For Sure!

AMS is completely capable of launching their 1400 AWHP GTR tho and still choose to run it more in roll races. It's apples and oranges, not saying either is the "right way" but it's a hobby none the less. I will agree with you tho, that most guys we will talk to on a daily basis choose to roll race because they can't launch..
