Is it worth upgrading the twins or go single?

However, go to an autocross or a road race course and things change. With typical drivers, those spraying v8s and 1 million horsepower monsters find out that all that power is a detriment.

well not much people can afford 20B though. but yeah i agree that 20B fixes all that problem. 20B produce 400 HP on stock right?

the fanatsy about street racing, at least where I live, is that it's increasingly dangerous and just about impossible to do, there is just too much traffic and too many idiots
you really are better off on a roadcourse, ego aside, but I prefer to take the bike out for track days because it's so much cheaper

there's really no fun at all doing street racing as most of the so called racer are ricer. you're just wasting ur gas racing with them.

the guys on here who have them (360 dynamic seal) love them, they just take a bit more rpm to spool up non-sequential (I wanted to get rid of the rat's nest), compared to the Stage 2s but you get better reliability/longevity, particularly at high boost
perhaps Bryan can find a way to get a little faster spool out of his Stage 4s

But the fact still remains, having the slowest car in your group of friends sucks. They get their basically stock v8s and slap a n2o kit on it and they are faster. this is a bit fustrating sometimes. But for me atleast its not a high enough priority in my life for me to go out and put 10k more in my car solely so that my car is faster than their 500 rwhp z06 and transam. However if my engine goes i will be going single if i keep the car. thats where i am coming from with all this....i am not a street racer...i guess its an ego thing.

Matty, you need to take your car to Lime Rock with your friends...if you can drive decently, you should embarass them pretty good (well, except for the Z06 guy, but hey, you paid 1/2 the price).
