Sunny, You will not be able to pull all the way to 4th if you only drive a little over the speed limit. My stage I was running 99 mph in the 1/4 mile still in third

Stage 1 was 5.7 0-60 and 14.10 in the quarter
Stage 2 is 4.7 0-60 and has not been to the track

Debatable with the GXP, completely incorrect when using the generalized term.

Any car with an automatic transmission, and a decent torque converter will allow you to spool the turbo against the torque converter with the brakes applied. A perfect example of this is the GMC Syclone/Typhoon. You could leave the line with 10psi, which created neck snapping G's. Performing a "boosted launch" in one of those cars felt like getting rear ended from a stop by a mack truck.

I hit 4th in the quarter with my Stage 2. I also was spinning all the way through 1st. Direzza Z101's aren't very helpful in terms of hooking.

Randy, I have a question. At what mileage on the stock 2.4 ecotech would you not consider or recommend adding the SC without opening it up and rebuilding first?

WOW 4.7! Sweeet.
That's basically BACKWARDS of mine. My 2.4L Sky (I think) is rated at 7.4 seconds for 0-60!!
