It's smooth, its not like a big turbo lag. Let's put it this way, if you were about to race someone, you want to be in that 3-4k range which is the sweet spot. When you floor it, the car will respond, make a ton of noise and start pulling like a freight train.

The car should do low 4's to mid 4.5s in 0-60 and do a quarter mile in high 12's. I believe stock gears can get you around 60 mph in first gear or a quick shift to 2nd for 60. Does that sound about right?

If the secondaries don't work you only get like 245 on valet. You should be able to tell if you are getting 245 or 375 by the seat of the pants feeling.
