What fuel are you tuning on? Once you get close to the tune and sweet spot, that thing is going to spool fast, faster than you could catch it if the tune is off.
im running 93 gas.it spools fast as hell but it just dont seem as quick as i was thinking.im guessing it could be maybe the timing or maybe the fact so far its only been 1st &2nd gear hits or maybe the fact the suspention on this car works great.im hitting it from a roll in 1st going into 2nd and no spin.i need to get a tag on it so i can really take it out and see how its runs.

also my last car was a nitrous car and i know nitrous hits diffrent then a turbo will.so ill play around with the timing and go from there.alot of guys are around 20to28 total timing and from what i hear i could be loosing anywhere from 50to 100 hp with my timing so low
