As I said earlier you *MIGHT* not like the performance, but you will never know unless you try.
No, but you can get a pretty good idea based on others' experiences, which is the whole idea of this post. A lot of people could've avoided very expensive mistakes if they had an idea in advance.
Not having the power to roar up mountain passes at 70MPH left you in "a dangerous situation," really? How was it dangerous? For one thing you could have feathered the gas pedal and not held it to redline if that's what you thought was dangerous. Was the line of cars behind you the concern? That's their problem not yours. About the only "danger" was if someone road-raged on you and had a gun or something. You can't live your life worrying about stuff like that.
Easy to be a backseat driver. What exactly is your experience with this combo?? Nobody said anything about needing to roar up a mountain at 70mph. Pretty sure I said I didn't need to be a speed demon. I could care less about the traffic behind me. I also said I have no problem winding it out at redline if that's what it takes, nothing dangerous there. Since you can't even read that part, I'm not going to bother getting into details of the dangerous situations it led to.
The OP wanted opinions on a specific setup, nearly identical to mine. I offered my actual experience and opinion. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't true.
