i think you should do something a bit different to a normal turbo hayabusa.

have you considered an ALS?

You lost me- ALS? Antilag System? Don't like them due to the mechican and thermal stress they present on the hardware, let alone the cost of the engine management systems that is needed - and I'm not worried about lag in any case with the system I'm putting together.

yer antilag. Its not just about getting rid of lag, it improves the power and torque massivly over the whole range, and 0-60 would be sublime, off the line with als is ridiculous.

each to their own ey! lol

good luck with the rest of the build, looking great!

[Monte Busa]

The Steering wheel is a Sparco racing wheel (6 bolt Momo pattern) - the wires are for the paddle shifter and where gotten from a company in California...forget the name right now...
