No worries, I'll try to have a few more videos over the coming days when I make it down to Mexico..
Don't get me wrong, being in the 9 second range without meth/race fuel is phenomenal. Meth gives me about a 4-5mph boost in trap speeds! So either way you go...performance is impressive. I don't mind meth, because I love the lower IATs going in the engine...but for most people the RBs might be more practical..if not harder to install though. Can't wait to see your 60-130 times soon.
