Some people are saying that the race kit should be a 100 octane only tune and be really aggressive. Other people are saying that not everyone is going to want to run 100 octane all the time. We are still discussing the possibilities.

glad you brought this up... for the occasional casual track day, I sure would like to be able to run 91... any way you guys could include a switch? even if this was introduced as an upgrade at a later date, it'd be appreciated

also, any more details you can share about the race-oriented version? you are assuming full a/c delete right ? anything else we should know about how it will be configured and what kind of differences we can expect from the other versions in terms of power gains, lag or whatever ?

thanks

i wasn't exagerating i said 2-psi which from experience is what i've seen. granted that was on cars running 14-20 lbs, and it ges down with less so maybe one psi. But the point remains valid will you have the ability to tune the CVTC to remove the valve overlap that robs boost from header equiped cars? It isn't the effiecent exhaust that reduces boost it's the valve timing. J/W because one of the main points of this car is it's ability to customize the cam settings in the ecu.

Actually we have talked about the possibility of having a dual map setup on the tune with the ability to swap out pulleys for more boost and higher octane tune for track use and a streetable tune for 91 octane. The only problem with that will be to work out the tuning. The easiest way to do a system along those lines would be a piggyback tuner with 6 additional injectors. So yes, it is an option that we have discussed but it's not something that I have any final details on just yet.

No matter what, there will be no A/C delete or anything like that. The system will be designed to work with all of your factory systems.

I don't know about power gains or lag until we get the car up on the dyno and start testing.
