My available power on the a/x track is greatly increased due to the added two cylinders. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
If I romp on the throttle it steers around into a spin. And I carry WAY more speed into the turns, so more braking is required. There are other Bay Area locals who will have to deal with this as well. Randal, Andy, Nathan, Britain and others will put their new power to the pavement for the first time as well in just a little while. Learning to drive again is fun yet frustrating.

I will be putting this to the test here next week. My son whacked a cone about 1 foot from dead center. Smashed the shit out of the cow catcher air dam. So I will go back to the early nose cone / belly pad. I bet it will really affect how the car handles on the freeway @85MPH BTW this is where I get the engine warm 345 with oil temps near 220. Takes about 75 miles to get this warm and levels out about there.
So stay tuned. WISH I HAD MORE HP!!!!!!! Getting braver with my 4 as I have my foot planted to the floor lots more now. 6000 RPM shifts 2nd to 3rd back to the floor till I reach the next feature sometimes I lift, Most always lift for the slalom just can't steer that fast. |
