The roller coaster is one of the easier spots if your coming south just hit the bottom with all the speed you have. My first trip this winter I didn,t know about the film crew being up there and when I got to the bottom I could see an eye shining right at the edge of the road on the snow burm. My first thought was a radar camera but it was a guy with a camera on a trypod standing a foot off the road filming us passing him at 75 and 80 mph can you say crazy.

But given the low levels of boost an IDI sees, it is probably not worth the expense power wise.
I had the same thoughts... but then I read that hypermax claims a 30% power increase and a 5% increase in fuel milage from there pulse intercooler setup... kinda think there dreaming... and it's $1500 bucks!

Assuming 15 MPG and 2.69 fuel costs as a base, a 5% increase in MPG would return .0089 cents per mile.

168,539 miles and you would be money ahead.
