I wish they would have kept going so I could have listened to that 458 some more.

Re: Best Drag Race Ever!!!

I admit I don't know much about BMW's, but what is "overboost"?

Serious. I know about turbos and superchargers and whatnot. And I'm familiar with the term overboost in the usual applications.

But in the video it said the BMW made XXXhp "with overboost". Is that something that you can make a BMW do?

It's a function factory turbo cars sometimes have whereby the PCM allows an increase in boost for a limited amount of time to make a little more power.
