He wasn't even remotely close to 2000 lb/in.
On to the ACD subject. Is ACD reprogramming a legal LSD modification for BSP? I know on the evo at least it isn't part of a "traction control" system as we have no such nannies in our cars.
Is it allowed per the rules? Gotta look into that.

Bump this up from page 3.
Got beat by Fair in the X MR yesterday. I was on corded hand-me-down A6's (that I corded 2 of) and he was on tired Yokos and an STU tune (so down 20hp).
Good to have the competition, even if it means getting beat
Edit: I did manage to not get beat this time by Amy in the same X MR. I think she was having an off day

I hate to disappoint you Marshall but we are putting down 342 hp at the wheels on E85 on a Dynapak. The E85 just gets the VIII about even with the IX. You still have the slightly bigger turbo and the MIVEC which should give you about a 30 hp advantage. I get about 320 on the race gas tune. My base was 292 whp which is why I went with a retune and the E-85.

Just curious, because I'm tuned for race gas, and am now thinking about ethanol, assuming I can find a station that sells it in the Boston area.

Can anyone please point me to a thread that talks about the mods necessary to run 85% ethanol on a permanent basis (i.e. daily driving + racing). Thanks.

step 1. verify you can find it locally
step 2. get bigger injectors
step 3. get even bigger injectors
step 4. get bigger/more fuel pump
step 5. tune
step 6. smile
step 7. buy a new motor because the "E85" you bought from Kroger was really E50 and your engine detonated.

Okay, thanks. I know you also need to worry about the fact that ethanol conducts electricity, and eats certain materials, like some kinds of rubber.

I thought you fell off. Going to Devens Sunday?
BTW, Congrats on Theresa making it into the VW Jetta cup!
I looked for some E85 in this area and found nothing. Only a couple stations in Long Island. You may have better luck in MA, but somehow I think it'll be few and far between.
