If I ever build another one, I think I'd almost certainly go with a turbo setup. The Stage 2 N/A setup was awesome, but with tandem, it doesn't leave a lot of room to make adjustments in the chase position.

The few times I started to tandem while I was still N/A I had to lead and pray I didn't screw up and throw the other guys off. I tried to follow a few times but I h ad to carry A LOT of speed in at our local drift lot and it honestly was a bit scary and I felt like I was pushing my luck each time. Id basically get right on their door and have to trust them to get back on power and pull away because even just left foot braking a little could make or break it.
I love my Turbo setup, doesn't make gobs of power or torque but its enough to make keeping speeds up pretty effortless.
