I understand your point but I needed a tool too measure the gains my mods provided. The 1/8th mile was available and I know it’s not a true measure of power because my boost only reaches 16 when I have reached 19 in higher RPM. However, I can tell you for 1/8th of a mile how my performance has increased with each mod and how bad you would get WHIPPED!
