haha, I told you you'll love it

Those torque numbers are crazy, I can't wait to possibly experience it come summer time when a 3mm HG and EMS might come into the picture

 

I've made a couple of these before but here I have included my current setup with a generally accepted stock setup from Comptech's website. I don't think anyone will dispute that the stock numbers here are a good representation of a random stock car's performance. For giggles, I've included the base Comptech + AC setup (also from the Comptech website).

No flaming please...its pretty obvious the boost levels are very different. This is just to give everyone (and myself) a reference to what my dyno chart means in more realistic terms. And with X and Y axes starting at zero...

 

maybe you should put a cut out on your exhaust so you can open up some power when you want it for the track. Looks awesome man. I would be looking to keep a stock sounding if I go the FI route a well.

 

Welcome to the 400+ club Enjoy and just be careful. Every once in a while, that kind of power can jump up and bite you in the ass if you're not paying attention.

 

Congrats and be careful

 

Thanks bud! Oh yes, I have a newfound respect for the car!!!

 

Awesome!!! I'll never forget the feeling of downshifting from 5th to 4th at about 70 and flooring it and almost losing the rear end. Be CAREFUL, but have fun. It won't get old, that I guarantee you.

 

Congrats! What tires are you running now, stock? That is kind of crazy for the ass to come out in 4th gear! I have zero traction issues with my car, I know i'm making less power, but I think it might also have to do with tires. Maybe that will be your next upgrade. Best of luck with the car.

 

The car is making 275+ rwtq between 5200 and 7000 RPM. Peaking at 290+. Add in cold temps and it's quite squirelly in lower gears. When it bites though...holy crap!

Wheels and tires are stock. 16" Potenza S-02s. Not exactly "grippy" in cold weather.

It's just that there is so much damned torque in the mid-range that the tires are overwhelmed. Come spring I'll be switching over to Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s (probably) and retaining the stock wheels. I don't think its anything a little throttle modulation can't handle. Like I said earlier, the boost comes in a very linear and predictable fashion. But VERY quickly.

I am currently running UK alignment specs and I'll most likely switch back to the US specs to achieve better straight line stability. Negative 2.1 degrees of rear camber is awesome for cornering but -1.5 might be a better compromise to help put the power down.

Some nice 9 or 10 inch wide rear wheels would be fantastic though

 

Congrats Enjoy the car and becareful
