This is the best part of his post:

"Then why did you race if the odds were against you? You lost either way. And show some respect to the 7."

but once i get a hold of Greddy turbo and put some mod and tune for around 260 whp,
then i'll give 7 drivers respectable race ,, whether i win or lose
7 can't lose!!!
i wish someday people will start saying the 8 can't lose!!
Nice, that turbo kit is damn expensive though : /

The street price for the Greddy kit is currently around $2900~$3000.
I don't know if you consider that damn expensive, but IMO that is quite cheap compared to other kits out there.

Turbo kit $3000ish
Stand alone ECU $$$$?? 1K
Upgraded injectors, fuel regulator, rail $$? 1K
and all the other stuff I forgot $$$?? 1k+
Parts + Labor and good tune 1K +

after everything said and done, you figure at least 10K.

BTW, Good kills..

turbo kit is $3000 which comes with greddy emanage piggy back unit
no injectors or pumps needed for this kit as the stock unit can handle just well
with other stuffs such as oil pan , BOV, oil catch can, gauges etc,, max is $1000
install and tuning is around $1000
so 260whp could be easily achieved with only $5000

Acctually, no I'm not bragging. Just damn glad I beat him so I could put a couple of ********* in their place. I don't brag about anything. Ever. Especially considering I drive nothing more than a mid 15 second car that gets worse gas mileage than yours and sounds like a demon posessed weedeater on crack. My car is slow, and I understand this. Doesn't mean I can't have fun every once in a while. Honestly, if I had a 20B under the hood putting 550+hp to the wheels, I still wouldn't brag because I know that there will always be something faster.
