First one kind of sucks. It was in the rain and I'm on DRs. A Civic full of people starts pacing me. I ignore but we catch a light. Civic then revs on me. I couldn't let that happen. The light goes green, I roll out a little and feed it just a little throttle. The boost guage started to barely move off of 0. I put a few cars and shut it down well below the speed limit. The honda flew by but then hit the brakes and gave me a thumbs up.

The next one surprised me a little. I'm leaving the alignment shop and pull next to a WS6. I'm still driving with no wastegate because my flanges haven't gotten in so I can't give it much gas. Plus the motor has ~20 miles on it. I end up running this guy from a 20mph roll. I never gave it more than 5-6psi and stayed just a few feet in front of him. The guy was cool and I didn't want to make excuses and tell him I was way less than 1/2 pedal so I let it go. But I will definately keep an eye out for him when my car is race ready.

One thing I have to say is I'm actually getting used to this 3,500 stall convertor. A 20mph roll on with me in second gear would usually bog very bad but power is available instantly no matter what speed.
 
sweet news cool! I hate street racing, and I will never go all out with anybody in the streets, but I love toying with people!!!

it is fun!

Good luck, and break the car in, not break the car...Have fun!
