The way your car drives in rain is no way to measure torque, now if you could do the same thing on a dry road you got something there
but with your shifting 
It sucks after a long dry period because all of that damn oil over the roads turns the streets into an ice rink.......

Well all I know, is that I looked at my dyno sheets and I'm pretty sure none of you guys has 390# of torque at 2000 rpms.
Also I wasn't shifting into fourth I was cruising in fourth and then gave it a bit off gas. Either way i wasn;t expecting to get a wiggle on and it was kind of fun.

However, I have to agree with Payam Joun, that doing the "wiggle" in the dry is the only way to justify a new name.

... and on the 5th day, god says, let there be blower... it was useless till he hit 5000 rpm, then he had to shift not to overspin it.. god uninstalled his blower and put the NX kit back on

Dude, if you hit the button at 2000 rpm with anything more then a 75 shot, one of two things will happen. A Nitrous backfire will blow off your intake manifold, or you will detonate and bend a rod.
