FMAX, what are they smoking?
i called and talked to a guy at fmax he said that the 720 ball bearing option only qucikened spool by 100rpm? i thought it ussually spooled 400-1000 rpm faster? i also told him my plans to remove the fmax downpipe cuz its only 2.25" and put in a 3" dp and he told me not too because i would lose so much midrange torque that it wouldnt be worth it and wouldnt make it faster?
any ideas?
thanks

I woudnt take it to heart. Probably just some wanna-be stunna they got answering the phones, who thinks he's an expert.
Lose midrange torque with a 3" downpipe? suuuuuurrreee

FMAX peeps are retards...I must admit!.....But as for the ball-bearing, for the money, I don't really think they are worth it...I would save that for something better.

1000rpm spool decrease will only happen if you use a turbo that is TOO small. BB allows you to use a housing one size larger w/o any adverse affects so that will amount to about 500~600rpm at the most with 100~300rpm being the norm if you are using a turbo of the same size.

and yes, FMAX employees are tards....I had to deal with them for 3 months during our group buy and it was a lot of fun...NOT!

because of the high volume of calls, they recommend you direct your questions to one of their dealers. also, i can answer most fmax related questions... i used to work there.
