I was going to do the solid but chose to keep the IRS around Thanksgiving. Really seeing Broke run at track day is what made my mind up. I beleive when i get all the bugs worked out on my car & learn to drive it right i will be in the 10's no prob. How hard was it to install the bushings & brace on your car?

Both were sort of a PITA honestly. IIRC, the IRS bushings took about 9 hours - no joke. Lee and Brian can vouch for how much it sucked. The brace wasn't nearly as bad except that it's nearly impossible to get to a couple of the bolts.
ETA: I think we're going to need another thread split.

I'll be installing a JLT and MAF Xtender tomorrow. And hopefully the new tunes that Ed wrote for me will take care of my detonation problem in cold air.

Better hook, higher mph out the back door. Physics. Not magic. And more proof (my car): Slicks: 1.9 60' - 12.95 @ 107 1.8 60' - 12.74 @ 109 Earlier that year on radials: 2.3 60' - 13.65 @ 105 2.1 60' - 13.55 @ 106

If we went by that, then I could do a complete half-throttle run and be hooking the whole way and I can guarentee that my mph would a lot lower than the full-throttle run spinning through 1st and 2nd. :P Quote:
I've had difference like that at different time os the year with the exact same combos! . . . it's called weather changes. Comparisons need to be on the same day for them to mean anything to me.

Here is some proof that tire spin in my car equals higher MPH. 3yrs ago ran a nitrous pass on street tires: 12.8 at 119 with 2.3ISH 60' Then an hour later after bolting on the slicks, 12.43 at 108 with a 1.6ish 60' Both runs I crossed the line in the same gear just as my shift lite was coming on at 5800.

Thank you Tommy, that is the same type of runs I have experienced but I didn't have the timeslips to give exact examples.

So I guess loss of traction equals higher MPH trap, right?
