And plenty of mountain rds.
Absolutely perfect! That gives me something to look forward to.

By the way, that torque curve looks sweet!

Traction control has never worked this hard before.


I'm guessing high tens with a little air out of the tires, only one way to find out.

Probably added ~100hp at the crank, so he's at about another ~90hp at the wheels.

Time to get to work on that homemade beehive now Outhouse.

It sounds great and it pulls hard!

Two questions-
Is your exhaust all factory original?
What kind of tires are you running? The ones in back sound pretty overwhelmed.

All stock exhaust.


And the tires are new Cooper zeon RS3's, yes they had no hold in first and all over the road in second, and skipping in third starting to hook up with traction control on. Without it, it would be hard to control.

I hope you had a chance to get out this weekend and enjoy the extra power you worked so hard for. Watching your video makes me anxious to do the same thing. It also reminds me how, as the temps drop at this time of year, traction is harder to come by even at stock power levels. Be careful and enjoy!
