Really? What changed? I have some videos of Mr. Wicked here spinning drag radials on the old setup into 3rd gear

Looking forward to this

Sounds like they might be setting up some kind of traction control....possibly regulating the boost level depending on what gear its in.

AEM v1 only does boost by speed, which is OK unless you spin...then it adds boost and makes the whole situation worse. So it has got to be set up dead on for it to be useful, otherwise you go slower than you could.

This is why you use the pedal on the right

Yaa....I see,Im used to flooring that pedal and holding on

If your butt cheeks dont tighten up,you are not going fast enough...


BTW: You left me waiting the other night,I need you to tweak the tune a little.

This car just continues to amaze me. Did you just get it painted, paint looks amazing. Sick ride, I've been following your build thread and I'm sure you can't wait until you get it back. Where in Florida are you?
