hey mark naw you don't need to have a mbc but the the stock boost solonoid sucks ***! So thats why i'm using the hallman mbc. You can also upgrade your boost solnoid like to the prodrive or perrin one for example and you will have a lot faster spool up. If you checkout most of the really fast subys out there they aren't using the stock boost solonoid they are using either a mbc, avcr, or after market boost solnoid. For example with my car since it's a 2.0 you would think that my car would be really laggy. But since i'm using my hallman mbc my car spool at 3500k rpms. Now how many people can say that! It spools up just as fast as a vf34. Now thats cool.

I have 18x8.5 using 245-40-18 size tires. I am using tein s-tech springs. But you gotta be careful I had to roll my fenders. I'm actually in the process of cutting my fenders though.

... stock 5mt tranny would break even on a vf34. And it all depends on how you drive it.
