Dave, you seriously need to get this thing on a road course with that curve.

At least bring it out to DCTC next year!

I plan to try DCTC for sure, I was trying to do that this year but the car was slow to come together.

If I do go racing besides 1/4 mile shit I am going to turn boost down some, it feels too aggressive as it sits for road course or auto x stuffs.

I know all my car does it make fake graphs now a days, but here is where the car is at now. This is a lot more than i thought i could get out of the stock turbo, even on my setup. The car feels pretty damn quick for a stock turbo and feels very strong to 7000 rpms. 2nd gear is insane, still haven't tried 1st hah.

Anyway, here is the graph. Still tweaking some but this is close and all I think I can get out of the setup. This was on 125th/main st in blaine, so pretty flat, so guessing numbers are kinda close to real dj numbers.

Anyway, last update of the season, going into storage and on jackstands soon. But the car is running good so I hope to make the 1st track day of spring and actually drive the thing.

First plans for next year are the following:

- Exedy triple disc clutch
- Radium surge tank (wally 450 version), and rewire AEM320 in tank to go back to dual voltage setup.
- Probably new tires, rivals i think, or maybe DR's.
- Maybe different turbo, but not sure yet. I want to drive this setup at the track first.

Storage soon? oh my bad, I forgot you don't keep it at home.
Drive it till the first sign of salt. you have a good week or 2!

That's an awesome powerband

I do keep it at home, but taking insurance off soon. Then I put it in my 3rd stall on jackstands and call it a year. I will probably wait another week at least though, so have a tiny bit of time.

Thanks, this powerband is actually really fun, feels like what an evo power band should be i guess.

A new turbo???? WTF

I will fucking slap you. This power curve makes me want to put this setup on my car.

Nice power curve, Dave :) Now park that beast and have some peace of mind for a few months knowing the car won't need any preparation for spring!

LOL @ new turbo. Does not compile.

Nice on getting it together though!
