Interesting perception of of PAS Mag, you probably haven’t seen it since August 07. I am the Editorial Director there and the new focus for us is one Performance & Competition, so much so that since SEMA we have a complete section dedicated to it with an internal cover car on hard cover stock. Some of those covers included Chris Rado’s Time attack car, JICs S15 and more recently Daijiro Inadas Option Mag sponsored 180SX/G/Z drifter which I titled “Young G-Z” LOL.
None of these cars have systems.
PAS is a book that is currently over 260pgs double that of some of the others. They already dominate the Audio, Multimedia, Show scene and now are going after more market share with performance taking up 40% of the magazine…if all goes well it could become a standalone mag.
PS: Speaking of turbo builds, we are building up with some new Garretts on my Skyline, a slick rear-mounted STS turbo on the 350Z and a GT30 on our Integra GS-R
