Uhh.......NO!

P.S.- If I DID go with a power adder it would more than likely be a single Turbotechnics turbo at 4# of boost. A "conservative" power adder if you will.

Not sure if there is, Hawkeye. I got a great launch and it felt strong all the way, but who knows? Heck, with a 40 mph tailwind there's no telling what kind of times I may get!
