Passing? I'm always in the right lane. :D

I hate 5th gear...at 45ish it is at a lugging rpm range.

Haha with my DSM I never downshifted from 5th to pass. 16g FTW!

tempting, but awfully expensive.

Yeah, that would be a part I would wait for the price to drop on, I can see that thing being about $3-400 in about 2 years

Id rather invest more in my head or even drop ins, rods/pistons, and rev the car out to 8500-9000rpms. Then get taller tires if need be. That way I wouldn't need this.

I plan to Shep my drive train if/when I manage to toast the six puck.

New ACT clutch/flywheel are in at DB (at least I am pretty sure they are, Shane said yesterday or today).

I ordered some new Mits spark plugs, mine looked pretty old when Shane checked them.

I also just ordered the DOM2 wga, its a 20psi one. It seems to hold boost way better, so maybe I can erk out some more power.

Here is a red before and after boost plot using the dom2 actuator.

Very similar to mine, tapers to 26psi ish.

Now with dom2 actuator.

If you look at the new graph, you can see he hits peak power at lot sooner and it won't go up because he has exhaust restriction, he is still on a stock unmodified manifold and 2.75" exhaust. So if he opened that up he would've made quite a bit more power.
