I was at 5.5psi of boost with a passenger, much heavier wheels and the next day I checked my sparkplugs and 2 where loose. Not making excuses, but his car did make 226hp on the dyno that day. His car is strong. Plus I know you won't like to hear this but those 4.77s hurt my top speed acceleration. I realized that after I when back to stock 4.10s.
ok well then your car was definitely not running right that day your car running properly should not be paced by a stock AP1 with an F22. considering my kills, hell no.

and maybe the 4.77 made you slower up top due to extra shifting, but i'm sure top end ACCELERATION wasn't less..

I don't care if you had huffy 18 speed gearing. 100 whp is 100 whp. Area under the curve would surely go to you as well.

well in my experiences of lining up w/ stock geared s2ks for hwy buffoonery the acceleration was quicker but for a briefer pd of time in each gear. Of course the cars arent technically identical save for gear changes but real world is real world. Your feelings are all an illusion. Thats not an oasis its a mirage
