Cool

I had my TC upgraded and it is more reponsive. I wouldn't say the car if faster, but it does spin my Toyos by just nailing. Didn't do that before.

The car ran a 14.5@101 at carlsbad raceway this weekened. I only ran it ounce but I could probably knock off 1/10 of that time. I am going back this weekend. I'll take lots of pictures.

im thinking about getting a TQ Con but i have a few questions. Ive heard it should take anywhere from 3/10 to 1/2 a sec on your 1/4mile time. Is that true? is the car faster or just more of a response. Was it worth the money you paid for it or did you think there should have been more power or feel.

so, how much was the strut tower brace from area 51? Do you think it will clear the super charger intake pipe?
