Those MT's will be an asset. I might miss the cooler weather for my next run. I want to do a few more mods and get a retune.What mods have you got lined up?Just remember Rob that if you go a more aggressive tune AND change diff ratio you may have really trouble keeping it under control.I have a more docile tune below 4000rpm then all hell breaks loose, so I'll only get into trouble if I do something stupid.Better to look at your torque graph, not the power graph, if you are comparing with Franks.BrianI've got an eboost now and the default settings are 0. It only runs 14 psi boost (the actuator size) and I need to step it up for full boost.I had it the other way around but I prefer it this way, especially for the wet. It is tame on the base setting but press a button and it runs 21psi.Frank set it up for me. He really knows what he's doing with these things, just ask Jim.I was comparing the seat of the pants tyre frying aspect, his is heaps more impressive.

I'm going to head towards 400 - or whatever I can get out of the stock turbo, and then we will see what drag times I can pull out of that. I just pray business picks up so I can support a "clutch and CV fund" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tow home will cost though!You might have to start begging or busking. Can you play an instrument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was first put in I was very worried that I had done the wrong thing! The friction point was on the floor basically and it was very grabby. now it is much smoother and the friction point has come up a fair bit. Still heavy pedal though. Hopefully I'll be back out in a couple of weeks to get back into the groove of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want Brian has said is on the money. I prefer the feel of the car with the 4.09's. 1/4 miles times aren't really that important so i can handle the short legs. Around town the car is so much easier to drive and althought you are busier changing up gears the ease of take off and the more flexible gears makes up for it.My fuel consumption went up aprox 1ltr per hundred at 110kph when i changed from 3.45 to 4.09. I have a cerametallic clutch and i know alot of people have hadder shudder issues with these clutches but i've been lucky. I reckon the 4.09's have alot to do with this as wellLuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a cerrametallic clutch and it was bloody horrible around town, it took too much riding to get the car moving, this would lead to shuddering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
