Hey Sweeney - Race Car update

Registered the car yesterday. Drving it around totally gutted. 2900lbs is my guess. Full tank of gas.

SPECS

worn out m30b34
G265
3.91LSD
15psi (wastegate worked for 6 or 8 runs)
12F ambient temp

Wow! Really really fast. You can just feel that it weighs nothing. I am having a hard time imaging what this car will be like with a m30b35, S3, the auto tranny and 20+ psi.

What tires are you running and are they hooking up?

Mine (RE050As) are terrible in 35 degree weather, can't imagine them in 12 degrees.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to just run drag radials. I turned the boost down to 10psi for now just so I can at least make forward progress. :)

The car has 225 Yoko AVS DB tires on it for the next few days. It's useless int he first two gears. I roll into the throttle in third and it's OK.

Monday my 275/50/15 BFG drag radials get mounted. Those will be the street setup for this car.
