Talking Huge fail incoming
Got the new turbo swap on, and planning on a track visit tonight. Next mod is wheel/tire but i know for a fact im going to spin 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down the track on these street tires. I have a big feeling i am going to do terrible tonight.

The car spools to full boost even at half throttle and just GOES! So stand by for my failure on street tires.
