Hey Leo. I just happened to be down in San Diego going to instructor school this last week and got the chance to spy you rolling down I-5 one night. Car looks even better in person. Nice job

But all this was to be expected as all centri buyers know that our setup doesn't develop boost off idle.

My Vortech V2 blown 07 GT automatic has no delay in kicking down or getting into boost. Some of that is from the custom dyno tune, while the 4,800 rpm stall converter sure helps get me instantly to big boost (kudos to Fuddle Racing in Utah for building me a great converter at an affordable price!). My tuner dialed in shift points, shift firmness, downshift thresholds, line pressure, stall converter lock-up timing, etc., so there is a lot that can be finessed in tuning an automatic - especially with a supercharger.
