Surprised
When my vet was stock it would hook pretty good and go. Now with the A&A kit I think it is actually slower because all it likes to do is spin the crap out of the tires
I was actually really surprised at how much low end grunt this thing has with a centrifugal style charger. I have two other cars with twin screws and was shocked by the ***** on this thing. Maybe it is because the vette is so light but 1st and 2nd gear traction is hopelss, 3rd is braking loose at 100.... If I didn't have custom pin striping on the lip on my rims I would be swapping for much stickier tires
. Overall though this thing is a blast. Just another Big thanks to A&A for a great kit, and Carmin at the Vette Doctors for awesome Tuning. Finally beautiful weather to get out and play in

Good stuff man!
Do yourself a favor if you ever get tangled up with a PD or twin screw charged car. Do best 2 out of 3 back to back. If the race is close on the first, you'll murder them on the next 2. Those things heat soak in a bad way.
