No dyno times. I street tuned it. Well, I gave it a rough tune then went to the drag strip and fine tuned it there. I would datalog all of my 1/4 mile runs then go back over my AF ratios and play with my timing to see how it affected the run.

The best I was able to pull in the 1/4 was 13.6 on street tires. It would burn the tires all the way through 3rd if I pushed it. It was definately a fun setup.

I got pretty good milage with it as well believe it or not. When I only boosted a few times a day and drove mostly in vacuum I saw an increase of 3-6 mpg over what I was getting NA. But on those sunny Friday afternoons when I would blast down the high way at full boost... well, FE went out the window. lol

Because it's easy enough to just let the stuff burn up and I assume they'd assume that people would forget about them and they'd get clogged or that jiffy lube would do the same, hell, if jiffy lube can let a oil pan bolt fall out they can mess up the can or forget it.

Good Point. I forgot the only thing most drivers want to do is turn on the AC.

You can also figure that most people would just empty it into their neighbors' lawns,

Take the filter out of the inside of the thing, it'll get clogged and then the oil won't fall out.

You can get bigger ones, yes.

On another note: If you're getting milky junk in there you have a blown headgasket! Yay, it's a diagnostic tool as well.
