    Yes I did and it i noticed a big difference. My front suspension is so far out of where it needs to be it just sucks. It doesn't transfer at all just stays down.. Which would be fine if it would freaking hook!
    I just found that my throttle isnt opening all the way. The front venturi are open but the back are barely even cracked. Trying to sort it out right now.

        I just got back from running out to the county line with it. Its running better now. I think I might be able to hit a 7.89 under full throttle.

          Man, technology is COOL! So, as you guys know, I had some shifting problems at the track and figured it was costing me some ET and MPH. My best time was a 7.5@96/11.5@124. Well, I haven't got my issue fixed yet, but I was hoping to see what it was and how much it was costing me. It's hitting the 7700 rpm rev limiter. Looking at the data log, the rev limiter hit on the 1-2 is costing me .4 seconds and 6MPH! (how many mph it gains in that .4 after hitting 2nd). On top of that, it was banging the 2-3 as well, but I didn't log that just now. It wasn't quite as severe, so maybe not as much of an impact. I'm VERY encouraged. This thing should have a GOOD TEN @ some decent MPH even at 2000' DA! NOW to get out to HPP and get it fixed!
          I don't follow your car mods and all but it seems like to me if the limiter is 7700, why not shift at 7200-7400?
          Don't worry about what you can't change.
          Do the best you can with what you have.
          Be honest, even if it hurts.

            Not to be a jerk, but thats carb 101... Check idle/ return to idle and WOT after making sure no fuel leaks.
            Some cars and a bike...

            Some say... they have been raced, some a lot

              Its all good.

              Now that the throttle is open all the way its spin city for me. Who would have thought it would be such a problem getting a 200 hp car to get traction.

                  Not alot of Torque from my car over stock, lol bone stock dyno 231/297 now 320/315.

                  It's flat though, it barely holds on from 50mph in second with nitto nt01s.

                        I swore off nittos. And help up to it for a long time until a few weeks ago. Ran across a good deal on NT05R's. They're not quite a mt et street Radial but they work much better than i expected.

                        • The nt01 is a road course/ autocross tire. On all 4 tires lol it's kind of retarded.

                              Had some fun with a new coyote from a dig on them last week.

                              Even with all the pedaling, I had a fender on him until 110-120 the. He pulled a fender on me. His was stock with the stick shift. Those cars run really well once the get rolling.

                              We did some roll racing, and I got drug by a car or so. That's with me shifting at 6,000 and hitting it at 3000. Which is turd city.

                                Yeah those cars are wicked even with exhaust and tune. Haven't got to mess around with one yet.
