Pulling the FI trigger...

b1adesofcha0s · 06-22-2011, 06:01 PM

I think it's taken enough abuse for now. Actually from getting rides in your guys car, I think it's my tires that are the issue. I remember you guys talking about how your VDC light only comes on over bumps, but mine comes on if I take a curve going fast. I definitely can't push it anywhere near what you guys can do with yours. VDC kicks in really early and kills some of the fun, which is why I turned it off to increase the tolerance level. I need to get me some new rubber, but it will have to be all season. Don't know if replacing my worn front summers with new (slightly wider) all seasons will make any improvement in grip.

Easy for you to say, you already experienced the S/C boost in his car

. About your tires, I would suggest you no longer take curves going fast

My sh*tty Eagle RS-A's were groaning the entire time on the Dragon. That didn't stop me from taking curves fast...

There is a limit to how fast I can take a curve and that limit is when VDC will kick in

Well got the gauges installed so now I know I am making 8.5PSI at redline...

Sam has told me that my AFR looks good, a bit rich but as I am going to beat on the car at AutoX events it is just a bit conservative on purpose...

Now I just need to find a dynojet...

I think a 4K clutch drop should do the trick. I'm sure those RE-11's will hook up just fine with all that power
