Too bad that won't happen. They have a rather large body of water seperating them.

I wasn't there. I just heard about it from both of them. I'll let them chime in.

Yeah, the difference there was in the tuning and not the K04s vs K04/K16s

Default why would people pay the extra for k04/k16s then?

if the turbos aren't making them faster significantly?

Default I was just saying that it was Jason's tuning that was slowing him down, not his K04s

Based on data I've seen, the K04/K16 does seem to have more potential for power, but your tuning makes a heck of alot more difference than whether you have K04s or K04/K16s. Case in point there were even well-tuned K03 cars edging out K04 cars in their early stages of tuning.

Default Actually, it was close. I pulled on him slightly untill I heatsoaked the stock IC's and he'd walk

away from me slowly. With stock IC's, I would taper to 3 or more less PSI than he was at up top.

On the 2nd and 3rd runs he was definitely ahead. However, he was running more boost and many more supporting mods than I had.

It's hard to say what the real difference is.
