I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Bad day at the track, my 60' dropped .2 (2.0) as a result of stickier tires and better launching. Lost 4 MPH in the 1/8th and 2 in the 1/4, Times were similar ranging from 13.4-13.6

Just didn't seem to have the guts. Air fuel was in the 13-13.5 area, ect was 170 deg, IAT was 80 deg. EGT was not monitored but it always seems to run cool except while cruising on highway it reaches 1350 max

really? i thought mid high 12's was optimum for power making regardless of the induction ...

i guess that's why i don't tune anyone's car haha

I like 13-13.5 for n/a and 11.5-12.1 for boost in boost.
Not that I am a pro by any means, but high 12's for boost is not what I would recommend. It really depends on the setup and how the engine reacts where it will make most power. There are a lot of "general" rules, its all an educated guess until you get on a dyno.

i wouldn't rock high 12's either because the detonation threshold becomes too small - that's not what i meant by my post.

i just mean in theory, i was under the understanding that the most power is made at the mid 12 area.

I was just pretty sure i heard dude at godspeed say it, and i thought i read it a few times on h-t as well.

it's not a big deal regardless actually - just opened my mouth without any hands-on knowledge ... i'm good for that ;)

I'd blow a car up in a second if i had to tune one - i don't even have the desire to try it. i'm too dumb. hah

what tire pressure did you run dan? you can probably pick up your mph by adding a bit. just gotta dick with it and find that happy medium where you're not killing your top end, but still have good traction.
