And this one I dunno about. Around yes, outta the way, not so much. I ran this past weekend. My Blinky HP was as good as anyone there, including EA. My car however, was just too stuck at both ends. I threw everything but the kitchen sink at it, tire combos, springs, dampening, body styles, I just couldn't free it up. I would've had the same problem boosted.

The one thing I did notice was that throttle feel is probably the biggest joke I've ever heard of in the blinky vs. boosted debate. 17.5 blinky 1s is FULL PULL. There's nothing to be gained by finessing the trigger. Pull the biggest gear you can, full can timing, and pray that's enough.
