Default AP1 vs. Speed3

Me and a good friend of mine decided to have a little fun last night with my S and his Speed3. My S is stock except for exhaust and he has a cold air, we went to our usual spot and did 2 rounds of a 30mph roll and the results were the same both times...

From first to second we were pretty even then he pulled a door ahead then when we were in fourth I was next to his taillights and it stayed that way until we shut down around 90mph. I was surprised at how well the S did considering the Speed is boosted, we're gonna try to go from a dig next time and see what happens.

Gotta love N/A when compared to boosted. I've seen most races where the S2000 takes a Speed3. Really depends on the driver for these cars.

Only reason I ask is cuz 3rd will take you to 90mph at redline...so if you were in 4th and then shut down at 90mph you may be short shifting without realizing it.

Maybe I don't realize it during the heat of the moment, I definitely need to ask him to run again. I also found out he's running 15psi which is stock.

Go to Modifry.com and pick up a shift beeper. It is a very easy mod and will help make sure you are shifting at redline every time without looking down at your dash.

If you want to hear what the shift beeper sounds like, take a look at this vid of my car:

Skip ahead to 3:00 to hear the best example.
