There is a huge tendency on the internet to simply criticize or try to minimize someone elses achievements especially if you have no way of duplicating the results. It is NOT bragging if you can back it up especially is you consistently produce results that NO ONE else has achieved. PLUS it is simplistic to make a statement that YEAH it is the fastest but look how much money that costs YOU CAN NOT be the fastest and be worried about a budget. It has NEVER worked that way and never will. You have to PAY to PLAY.

We all have our opinions. So loosen up a bit. Nobody is trying to diminish anyone else's accomplishments. It's just that some of these "accomplishments" aren't really worth much. Stock blower. Stock tire. Stock bottom end. Stock trans. Stock torque converter. Stock weight. Stock suspension. Stock this and that. There are a zillion categories out there now with some claim of being the first stock something to do something or the fastest stock something. And it is because the market is very saturated. Again, it isn't to take anything away from someone. But with soo many claims out there it's just a bit much. I personally don't mind if someone wants to find a category that is currently uninhabited and claim it. But I do notice that maybe it isn't much of a claim these days. And for the record, I was just explaining to you what EDF meant because it seemed that you took it the wrong way.

Agreed. I have no problem shelling out good money for my toys. I am currently modding 4 of my 6 vehicles...2 of which are motorcycles. My ZL1 is getting a cam, ported heads, blower swap, etc. My Hellcat is going in for round 2 of mods over what it has now. My Busa right now is getting bolt-ons but I'm springing for a turbo kit. My H2-SX is getting full mods plus a $3K intercooler setup. trust me, I know how much it costs to "play". And I play as hard as I can. But at no point did I suggest that you don't have to pay. I simply said the stock blower is not worth dumping money into for most street driven cars due to the inefficiency of it. You will come across cooling issues. Even if you don't, swapping out to a bigger blower will make for a more efficient power gain and delivery. I mean, I'm not knocking anyone for whatever route they choose to go with. But for my car which will see DD use in the NorthEast where we get temp extremes, it is better for me to spend the extra money and do everything at once and have peace of mind on 93 octane.
