We didn't even add any gauges or anything to the inside. My dad has said that once he hits 11'* he'* done at the track (mainly because they will kick him out for no roll bar) and he'* gonna add the heavy brakes and heavier suspension parts he wants to add that will slow the car down to make the car nicer for driving on the street.
And back to the original topic, I just want to add one thing. The day ZZP put this product on their site, INTENSE dropped the price of the MP112 Conversion Kit to $1750. That makes that a much more affordable option now.

Whats the point of a "mild cam." If he ever does decide to put in a cam, it will be a VERY big cam (either the XP or XPZ cam), but he isn't going to. The car kind of has a mild cam already with the 1.9 rockers. A cam swap costs around $1000, and a mild cam still makes the car idle rougher and sound lopey. And no matter what cam you put in, you don't get the gain unless you get the computer programming to up the shifts, which upping the shifts is bad on the engine, and so on and so fourth. And with a mild cam swap we can't say it still has the stock cam anymore, and it won't make much more power, so whats the point.
Like I said, the car can make the amount of power we need it to with the stock cam, so why put in a big one?

So all in all, he doesn't want an aftermarket cam. What he has is working fine for him. Thats that.
No lets try to get back to the original topic and stay there this time.

I think you've answerred your own question Shawn - without increasing the engines capacity to flow more, you're likely to get a sh*tload of boost stacking considering the hybrid M112 can flow almost 700CFM at max speed of 14,000rpm.
