Im sure I can figure out how to override the computer to close the

Swapping in a pressure wastegate instead of a vacuum one makes sense,
not sure exactly is there are parts available to do that or not.

the only way a GTO is going to do 220 mph is if it's hit up the back side by
a Bugatti Veyron! 500 hp or more just isn't enough to push that boat
