It's funny because I look at Hoss-05's car and think it looks more aggressive. It needs to be lower though for sure.

Mine is for now but that is only because he is still working out bugs and hasn't gotten on the dyno yet. But his turbo is way bigger than mine, proper external wastegate, tubular manifold, etc. so when he is fully situated he should pull bus lengths on me (hopefully).
