Is it a torque thing? Can;t get traction? Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this matter? Sorry for the noob question but am pretty new to both drag racing, and turbo cars lol.

Seem to run quicker times with less power. Not sure if its a weight thing, or what it is.

Just realized some of the times I've been looking at for these things are manuals, that might explain a fair bit.

I had to go to 60lb bosch injectors after that I was told not to bother buying them unless I was going to do the bottom end also Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64986-rwkw-vs-ets/#findComment-969562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
