When you shift to reverse, does the diredtion of rotation change?
I've busted my leg many times on a trailer ball, but I can't imagine hitting that thing on the shin bone

I'm sure it lowers EGTs as well and reduces turbo lag! The turbo will spool up much quicker. Forget the wicked wheel!

Dat's right, simultaneous spooling and boost..........just have to keep the neighbors dog away from it when she spools up...........gets ugly!

hey I knew i would find a use for that old wheel. It is definately on my list of things to install next. But wouldn't the drag coefficient divided by the longitudinal hydrokinetic cosign actually cancel out any gains?? To answer your questions........ Yes I'm an idiot, but its fun!!!!! Thats pretty cool though, thanks for the pic Heat!!

HeyBigDiesel,
The drag coefficient is equal to the turn signal fluid level. duh!
(Yeah, it's obvious I have way to much time on my hands)
