I've started reading through the appropriate section of the forum, but a lot of the good data seems to be buried. I figured you guys might have a couple good keywords to search.
They are buried. I can't remember how I found them. There area some good ones in the Track section from what I remember. Keep reading. Those 2 guys had an ability issue. You don't smash on the throttle in a boosted car. You drive it like you have an egg under the go pedal. Shadow needs to be on a chassis dyno. That's why they made them so the cars could be tested and tuned on it and not on the street. Much safer that way.
