Elijah, you have to remember that us folks in CO live at 5280+ft elevation. 
With that comes much more lag. So much that Darin N of Scars.org fame found 
a 600-700rpm difference in lag from Iowa(elevation unknown but probably not 
much above sea level) to Denver's 5280 with the full RS2 upgrade. You can 
imagine what kind of lag we're talking about once you head West up I-70 to 
10,000ft+ It get's pretty ugly with a 2.2L two ton pig. Just gotta keep her 
on the boost all the time and forget about stop light drags. Just FYI,

Chad
