not at all man. boost control is half of the equation. why dial it in to “sort of hook” on a street tire and make less power, when you could run a slick and put down all the power much earlier?

and for reference, i ran petes evo, i was on STREET TIRES, pump gas, ~23-24psi and of course he 60footed me,but i was about to come around him at the top of 2nd gear… and his was a consistant 13.1 car all day, i had a good amount on him up top… not bad for single stage MBC and street tires.

my thing about the slicks is YETTI thinks he cant go from a dig in his car… set it up and itll go. just gotta modulate the throttle imputs, its not ON/OFF. my GTI i could get it to hook in 1st and most of 2nd if i tried to, or i could just smash the gas and spin into 3rd.
