How many layers of Nomex?  Single layer is worth about 2 seconds.  Triple
layer, about 6 seconds....

So, you bought the 2.8 NA engine, huh?  First mistake... <g>  But actually,
you can change the cam, K&N/cone the air filter, get a bigger exhaust and
be up maybe 8-10%.  There was talk about Wettrauer having a chip for the
2.8 but since I don't have one of those, I don't know for sure.

But wait, you say that you can't use the SC because it's for the 30V, which
is the V6-5V, which is the 2.8.  So you have the 1.8 turbo.  There are
LOADS of things you can do to the 1.8t to hop it up.  Chips being just one
of the bountiful items.  SCC had a _cover story_ on chipping the 1.8t.
Everyone has a chip for the 1.8t.
