Advice for all N/A's

Stay away from Dyno's, especially if there are turbo's around. You can have lots of fun with mods & weight reduction. If you must quantify mods, get a G-tech. If you want to see big HP numbers, set it to 6000 lbs.

I agree. N/A is a lot of fun. Just cuz we don't have huge hp #'s, people think we are slow. But no ricer has EVER beat me, and neither has a couple of goofs in Mustang GT's!! I love n/a!! Who needs a dyno?

I personally like my *** dyno. It says I have 4 billion horse power, and I run the 1/4 in 3 seconds flat. I think it is a little off.

By the way, how high can you actually set the weight on a G-tech?

That sounds like an automotive inferiority complex to me. Why do some (not all) NA owners feel the need to regularly justify/defend their purchase to everyone. It gets boring very quickly!

Same reason import fans always have to talk about "beating 5.0's". They know there's a bigger dog on the block and they need to cut in their shots so they don't feel so small
