There is not one period in that sentence. My eyes are bleeding and my brain is running out my ears just from trying to read that.
But anyways, I like the quick spool of the Greddy turbo because I am not using it for everyday racing, just daily drivability with an occasional track drag race. Traction is a factor, but I would rather have the smaller turbo with quick spool than a huge turbo that doesn't spool up until close to redline if I am primarily driving it on the street. I think he is probably primarily driving on the street, so I would think he has the same opinion.
Anyways, Hondata will not bring you to 250whp unless you pump the boost up to about 10psi. It will increase the torque numbers for that particular boost level but hp will not increase dramatically.
