Default my car feels slow....

I dont kno if its just me or not but when u guys hit boost do u feel ur car pull? Cause when I floor it, I can feel it pull a little, but it doesnt seem that fast to me. I want the feeling when you hit boost you get sucked back in your seat and your stomach jumps up to your chest like when a rollercoaster plummets down the track? Do you guys get that feeling? Cause I wish I did.

168 lbs. torque at 6 psi powered by Greddy


Your problem lies in the front half of that sentence. Good numbers for whatcha got, but torque is what puts you in the seat, high end torque makes hp. You drive torque, thats what the motor is actually doing, hp is just a mathmatical equation of acceleration.
