getting the most out of what they have before upgrading. Most people don't do this and just start throwing parts at there cars without fully understanding where there "cork" might be. Pretty much upgrading the wrong parts.
The oddball stuff is what I like to read about or help with. Shadow's setup is oddball because after many years he got faster and faster without changing certain things people normally change. His "vanilla" approach is interesting because of what he didn't do.
I agree very much with those points.




One thing i think Shadow has done a good job demonstrating (even if the forum has not done a good job learning from it) is that what is AFTER the turbine has a huge impact on what the parts in FRONT of the turbine are 'capable' of, and that the best way to improve the 'capability' of a stock log manifold is to upgrade the EXHAUST.
