Default Advanced Dyno really let me down with my last visit (4.11/Clutch install)

Well Robert and Mike swore up and down I would love this thing and all I can say is I am very dissapointed in the car. I really never expected it to shread tires every damn time I get into it. Before I left Dallas looked at me and said "Be careful bro???" and Robert topped it off with "Be cool and break in the clutch" Well I think I have done all but that. I just can't help doing smokey burnouts and smashing the gas at 40mph only to see ACTIVE HANDLING show up on the DIC makes me giggle like a little girl. I think it might be time to ditch the NOS, get a nice set of heads and call it a day.

Guys I am so sorry I am not being the responsible drivers and "pussyfooting" the car around. I am just having to much fun. Kyle hurry up and get me those stockers so I can smoke the tires off. We can film it for the community to enjoy. I'll pay for the clutch and gas. HAHAHHA
