Motec or Aim...

At that point you should swap out the ECU so all the car data is available through one system and interface. That's what the Sierra Sierra guys have done with the Pectal stuff.

Congratulations on another win!
Here's what the driver of the GTR has to say:

iirc, the mods on the gtr are only jrz coilovers and wheels with toyo r888's, i could be wrong though. but overall just sounds like he was outgunned. 27xx lb car vs 3800 lb car with comparable power and more or less equal suspension, frankly i'm not to surprized ryan won.

The GT-R has some weightloss...around 300+lbs. 500+whp as well. It's very lightly modded, and I'm impressed that it went as fast as it did...nice driving Sharif!

BTW, my car weighs 2,850lbs.

No worries. we've added a rollbar and some interior back into the car since then.

Thanks!

Kool, I'll be running at E-Town at the end of August, hope to see you there. It's not the most ideal track but it's close to home for me and my budget is small.

I know it might not be your focus but I'm starting to wonder what kind of quarter mile this blue Evo X would run considering the strong HP and 750 lbs weight loss? I'm thinking low to mid 10's at 130+ would be possible with the Red at 35 psi on race gas!

I'm heading out to the Castrol Syntec Top Car Challenge as I type this and part of the competition is 1/4. We'll see how things go
