phillie whats ur set up if u dont mind me asking have u changed the rear end?
My car is going to be tuned this coming up monday. I have the Lovefab GT1 kit and 3mm HG. I'm running 18 x 10" wheels in the rear. My driveline is stock. I don't think I'll be doing anything to it anytime soon unless I explode the rear end. I figure if I don't do any hard launches I should be fine.

You sure are spending alot of money shipping your car here but you're doing it right!

phillie its not to bad sending it over, just over $1000.

plus its all cheaper oover there (US).

the rear end is still in the air, but just to put it into context the money, it would cost me the same to ave all this done in the US as it would just to get a stroker kit rebuild in the uk and then not many people woul dbe abe to tune it correctly so what the ell its only money , u cant take it with u,

plus Laskey racing as a good name and Mase does aswel

You are still stopping a car from the same speed if the car is boosted or not. 80 MPH with boost and 80 MPH from NA is the same 80 MPH.

Technically this is true, but you'll be going faster a whole lot more often, hence braking harder more often and in most cases you'll be braking from a higher speed than if you are stock anyway so punishing the stock brakes much more than stock.

Unless you are tracking your car a lot, I really don't think this is true. Even with double the power, I don't travel any faster than I did when my car was stock. I just get up to speed a lot sooner.
