They just aren't worth all the money over an MBC to ME.
Ok then that really helps. But I do have a quick question though. Do you know of a lot of people having their ebc's fail due to electronic problems? I understand that they can be prone to failure; however, I haven't really heard anything on the forums regarding ebc's failing and/or not working.

My dad has one on his Supra. He hasn't had any problems with it so far, but I thinkt hat you can be a little more accurate with the second one due to the digital display. jut my 2 cents

PK, no, I wouldn't say that it's common at all.

Fp, you should learn to launch and shift first before worrying about mods. You'll gain a lot more on your ET from improved driving than you will with a boost controller, imo. Then, once you're learned to drive it, start adding mods to bump it up further.

Yeah what? What was the 60' and time?

Boostinjuice, you can't see the launch in the vid vs the SS. Against the Vette, it's a slow, late launch.
