    Default starting to feel more like a downgrade,

    not an upgrade.


    Well, this flash upgrade i got aint impressing me at all. Yea its runs smoother but it def. not running faster. B4 i got the upgrade i was running nose to nose with my buddies stock srt4, in every gear. Now he pulls on me a car lenght plus, HARD! I know for a fact it aint my clutch now. B/c he even gave me the jump on one run and still pulled up next to me and passed me.


    I called epg up a few times asking for brian. He was busy each time. So im just waiting for his call. In the meantime, does anybody know if i am also suposed to cahnge out anything else?

    which N75 are you using? I was recently using the j valve and it felt 'smoother' but wayyy slower. I was also getting a lot of partial throttle surging between 5-10psi. I put my stock n75 back on and hooked up my boostvalve MBC in overboost mode and now I run stronger than ever w/ out crazy boost readings.
