Josh pretty much covered it. The car is crazy fast, sounds awesome, but around town driving isn't the best. It's drivable with a careful touch, but I wouldn't want my girlfriend driving it around. Another issue is that since vacuum falls off so rapidly making a proper fuel map is pretty difficult. Some tuners say to use Alpha-N tuning, which is making the map based on RPM and TPS rather than RPM and MAP. This is a good option for this setup, but also leads to drivability problems since now the engine had no concept of load.

Really... this is one of those racecar mods and although I really enjoy driving the car if my girlfriend can't drive it to the store it kind of loses its purpose to me.
