I want reliability. LOL I want to be able to turn up the air and fuel I have now. The chassis can only support so much power before it is very difficult to drive.
Now that I have one and have driven it, I know exactly what Mike and Seb were talking about.

The biggest problem is weeding through all the hype about stuff with no data to support if it works or not. Pain in my butt.

You can drive them hard but you have to turn it down a bit. You can't run them that way on the street anyway. Car is just too fast. I am not running around on my highest boost setting but I do run it that way on the 718hp setting all day long. I have been on the 12psi setting and the 21psi setting before though. I just gravitate to the middle setting.

Picked up my new front facia today from Nissan. I don't have enough time to get it painted before Wannagofast. Oh well. Tie straps on the bumper and here we go. Time to do front/rear brakes tomorrow. I want new brakes and pads on the car before Wannagofast and I need to have them good and broke in.

I have had more of a chance to think about this. This is the way I feel about it.
I will use Joby just as an example.

Say, Joby wants a ride. I give him one at my normal 17psi of boost level.

Joby: "Wow, it is fast but I thought it would have more."
Me: "OK, I will turn it up to high boost."

We make a run and something goes wrong. A head gaskets blows.
Me: "Oh crap, this is going to be expensive".
Me: "SOB, it is going to be 16k to 20k to get the motor redone."
Me: "How fast can I get the car back in the shop and how long is
this going to take?"
Me: "I am screwed, it is going to be a year before MA-Motorsports can get
to my car. This sucks."
Joby: "Sorry man, I hate to hear that, while walking away."


So ya see, he has a damn good point. We all know reliability starts
to be an issue around 800whp. I am right at it. My motor could pop
a head gasket at any time running high boost, just like other folks have. At the end of the day it was my choice to do the build the way I have. I am
responsible for it and the way I choose to drive it. It's just the way it is at the moment. One guy sold his car because of the issue and totally got out. I can understand that. I may would do the same.

I honestly have no idea who y’all are talking about. I understand not running the machine at high boost, but why not just run it at low or medium boost at the event?

I am talking about the person that Elmo has been talking about, the “930whp that’s afraid to run his car”, or in general the dyno queens, owners that just don’t let their cars eat much.

My message wasn’t meant for Spooler.
