ah right, you had the tec-II on your 96, if i'm not mistaken.
how is it when shifting gears in a drag race? does it put you right back in the powerband? if so then i wouldn't even worry about lag except out of the hole. that's kind of how my car is, it pulls harder than a gsr from 4500 up but it's like an ex below 4000. trying to launch into the powerband without spinning or bogging is hard as fuck. nothing slicks and a 6000 rpm clutch dump couldn't take care of though lol.
hopefully i'll be able to join you guys at mir this weekend. maybe i'll even take the ka24e down the 1320 one last time (and hopefully not blow it up).
