For mild boost (electrocharger anyone?) I would expect that the stock system with its narrow tubing would work quite well, keeping the exhaust velocity up and enhancing scavenging. You might see an improvement with high flow cats but the rest of the exhaust should be fine.

During my testing i was able to do 0-240km whilst still developing boost. As a matter of fact i did 2 back to back only slowing down to 0 in between.
1/4mile, half mile will not be a problem AT ALL.
On the street it is 100% impossible to get the system to a point where it will not put you back in the seat.

"Here comes the big one. The system usage is designed around a single pull and upon throttle switch activation, not in a volley of consecutive back to back ones. Anyone catch my WOT mentions? There's nothing sinister about any of the previous references, only that it's just that – Wide Open Throttle. Notice that I didn't say it would be great for DRAG and or DRIFT applications? That's because this system will not activate in partial throttle, at all. This is where the Phantom ESC differs, and slight adjustment in driving styles are needed.
Think about this real quick – you're in the burnout box ready to rumble. You launch, floor it, hit rev limit and grab second. At which point in time, the recharge isn't going to be full when you go wide open in that gear. Additionally, with each successive gear change, the rate of 'recharge' that the batteries provide will be diminished and your IATs build up, producing less than optimal results. It's still better than stock, all things said. Same issues apply with drifting."

You guys aren't exactly in agreement here and I have to say that IMO @ Drift-Office is unbiased.
