I don't know what you mean. Racing is against the law. Now hypotheically it may be a little slower than some pewter vettes, but I would say that's not to bad for one six hour bolt on!

seems like having the turbo all the way back behind the rear end would hurt throttle response... maybe that's just me, but i can't imagine the extra 8 miles of piping to create a more responsive throttle pedal.

Yeah, but sorry that just seems silly to me. Oh well everyone gets theirs somehow.

Its not silly. It just plain works. I dont know If I would do an all out race build in this configuration....but to be used just as the kit comes...its great. 400-500 rwhp in a short time with a big fancy bolt on...thats a great thing. Throttle response is probably comprimised slightly...but dont forget....its still a 10.1 to 1 compression V8 LS1 that makes 300+ at the wheels NA anyways....its only up from there as boost climbs.
