As others have mentioned, there is so much torque down low, that it launches off the line and will momentarily defeat the traction control if you stand on it at around 3000 rpm in second gear. Lots of fun.
LG Motorsports did the install, very professionally I might add. Now that I have the car in cooler Missouri weather, it is even stronger as it likes the cooler air that has finally arrived here.
I spent yesterday morning modifying the fuel rail covers to fit with the Magnusson. Wasn't a very difficult job, just time consuming. The results were well worth it as the engine is pretty ugly with the individual ignition coils exposed. Look at my gallery for photos.
I have been a Porsche club member since 1978 and have had many Porsches including a 911 turbo track car. This is, by far, the fastest car I have ever owned. Very comfortable as well and I still averaged 27 mpg on the trip back here from Dallas.
