haha yea but my rb20 runs quite well at around 14psi, i can beat stock sr's but ones running like 25psi would give me a few problems. the only thing i cant figure out is that i can beat my buddies rb25 s14 by a few cars.....

well it was at the point where i just had a nose in front of the sr's so it was nothing too amazing, as for mods theres nothing too major, fmic, dp, intake, exhaust, and the ecu has been tuned which i just recently found out.
