A VG30... is not laggy...
I have a turbo that doesn't come on full song to around 4000RPM and that's in a roll on 4th... Doesn't really get right up on boost in 1st... But by second it snaps immediately to full boost and just romps all the power down...
A VG30 is SLIGHTLY laggier then stock (IE, a couple of hundred RPM at WORST, IE full boost at like 2800RPM) if it's taking you 2 gears to get your VG30 up on boost, I think you also f**ked it up.
As I said, the Honda's are really only "quick" in the first 2 gears, after that, they have no legs...
You guys commented "side by side in 1st and 2nd then I pulled away" IE, the R33 is the same speed in the 1st 2 gears as the Honda, but the R33 keeps pulling in the upper gears, where as, the Honda runs out of power...
Oh and to the guys quoting "A honda puts out XXX KW" stop with the bullshit about power! It might win bragging rights, but it FAILS at the strip.
Torque wins races!
My car was only "claimed" at 250RWKW... In the short time that it ran, my tuner passed the comment it would obliterate most 300RWKW skylines... if it ever got traction...
Brad (RISKIN) even commented it seemed to have more straight line go then his GTR... (PS, last I heard it makes 480AWKW... )
