I dont use the key off much, actually. I just let it idle while coasting, which, admittedly, doesn't happen much, partially for the lack of brakes, and partially because most coasting around here ends up making the car go faster than the psl considerably, and sometimes faster than safety would suggest. There are a few times when I could do some EOC, though, that I just don't, instead using DFCO and no-load (the point in the throttle where you could easily slide the shifter in/out of gear) to maintain speed, which, to me, is a gross waste of fuel.

Once my 2"exhaust is done, I'm also looking to do a full belly with a rear lift@ 3° to the horizon.



I also forgot to mention that I'm gettin rid of the vacuum pump, but I have no clue what kind of power its sucking... I just know it's wasted.
