i prefer Aleve which is naproxen (generic name). Naproxen is a natural muscle relaxer so it works best if you have a sore neck or something thats causing your headache. Tylenol (acetaminophen generic name) is an all around good pain killer but over usage can have long term damage to your nerve endings. Advil (ibuprofen generic name) is pain killer too that is overall better for you than tylenol.

Sign me up! I'll be a replacement ref. It's been so long since I've played football too haha. I wouldn't mind playing again.
So this kid in a Neon with a SRT4 motor and turbo swap wants to race me from a 40 roll. He doesn't want to race from a dig because he'll blow his stock neon tranny up again haha. I told him I'd race him once I got my clutch installed and my car tuned. Otherwise I don't think I stand a chance.

He's a pretty shitty driver too lol. I guess we'll see when I race him. Once I get up to 120mph my turbo starts to flutter 
I think that's because I need a better tune.

yea, i suppose you could brake boost if you need to if your powerband isn't spooling around a 40mph. i'd practice so you don't look like an idiot if you need to do it an never have before

I've never done it haha. I should probably practice on the stock clutch at least since I heard its rough on your clutch.
On another note, I have serious flutter in my turbo when I'm semi driving it hard. It happens around 4k rpm's. I'm not sure what's causing it. Happens 3rd - 5th gear and late in 2nd gear. I've never heard it before until I put it up to 120mph. Now it seems to happen.

i haven't had a turbo yet so i'm still learning about the problems they have and how to fix em. what do you mean flutter? maybe your wastegate isn't holding all the pressure now at higher boosts?

It's not the toot sound that you would normally hear, it's like deeper. It's hard to explain. But the same concept.
I'm only at 8 psi too
