Man. You keep going on about response.
I'm going to very interested to see if it will ever match the response of your old car. I'm sure it will make a tonne of power, but the response will probably never be what you want or expect.
A na car converted to turbo will be more responsive. Especially consider your last car had variable cam timing etc.
I really look forward to your result, but have said it before, a supercharged v8 would have been a more sensible choice.
