Let’s hear why.

Straight line, up to this point, is 2.0 dominated, and I’m not arguing that it’s easier and proven to go very fast by revving high. However, for a _practical_ street application, well, read my post. My car runs every day, has never stranded me, and flows ~50lbs/min at like 23psi. I’m not complaining, that’s all.
