It blurs your vision! That's the warp speed button. (kick down switch)

It runs FAST all the time... the button kicks is down one gear.....


If you put it in first gear at a stop and floor the gas it will run every gear to red line and shift.... please dont try to run through all 5 gears...unless you have a few miles of empty airstrip in front of you.....

Enjoy the car... it is hard to beat....

If you have to ask it's obvious you haven't "Pushed the Button"!

Spend a bit of time searching the forum and you will find a wealth of knowledge.

Bsically, intake + pulley + tune. Search a bit and you can form your own opinions. Good luck.

More and more people are saying,
An intake, pulley and tune.
It is very advisable if your going to increase boost you should
"COOL YOUR BOOSTED AIR"
the importance of an intercooler seems to be getting lost while cutting
$$$ corners.

Cooling is an important part of modding, but having ran with those who have those mods, and setting at a 90 degree plus track all day...and fighting heat soak, it can take your numbers down up to .4 tenths. With that said, they experienced the same. So, I have decided to go the meth route and just fool the system. A lot less work and expense. My temps never rise more than a needle width now, so unless I am going to round track, her, I just don't see modding either car for drag racing. I am going to do Rudy's fan mod, while staging, this would be helpful. Each to their own. But, the basics is still, cold air intake, pulley, and a tune to bring it all together, and the cooling if you are worried about it.

A tune is a re-programming of the cars' performance.
The car is factory programmed to be handled by those who in easiest terms really shouldn't own a fine automobile. Using the wrong fuels not actually driving the car as it was intended, you know what I mean.
These cars were capable of so much more performance than they are released with. A tune brings the car to the points the car was engineered to.
