I had the opportunity to see Javad's 80tq in action on a recent trip to
CA.  FAST doesn't really begin to describe it.

As if being pinned to the seat and giggling like a school girl at WOT
wasn't confirmation enough that the car has serious power, the car
accelerates so fast that the stock 80q tach can't keep up!  IIRC Javad
has the redline set close to 8k and when the car RIPS to that level the
stock needle has only managed to reach ~6500.

And the sound.... from 5k onward the car sounds like it wants to rev to
around 15k rpm before it is rudely stopped by the rev limiter.  On
shifts the Tial dump valve makes a sound similar to dumping cold water
on a hot stove.. qwwwwwwshhhhhhh!

I owe Javad a big THANKS not only for showing me around the CA bay area
but setting the expectations unreasonably high for my own 20vt
conversion project ;)
