    Guess what? This guy here just gave us a new way of testing engines and trannies to see if they can be pushed without breaking. And we can find out which engines are capable of handling 10000rpm instead, and which ones have a built-in limiter of 8000rpm, so you do not have to waste your time buying the engines and racing them yourselves. All you gotta do is look up the online database, thanks to this program!

    That is what being an Xtreme enthusiast is all about, and for that reason, I will not tolerate pansies or threadcrappers here.

    Edit: If you guys still want to debate this issue, then it's just the same as saying that LN2 suicide runs are pointless, just like drag-racing is pointless. A mod would probably ban a troller if he didnt stop voicing out against the purpose of enthusiast thrill.

    Your comparison isn't quite valid. When you install a turbo, or NO2, etc, you don't do it on a bone stock bottom end. You have to upgrade the bottom end to handle the increased output.

    And I am hardly trolling. Seriously dude, just because someone doesn't meet your definition of "enthusiast" doesn't mean they are threadcrapping or trolling or anything like that.
