Shiv, there are 4.11 gear-sets available for the JDM EVO, any chance we will get them over here?

ShapeGSX, what use is datalogging on a specific temp, humidity, altitude, etc. when every time you run your car everything changes. It may be cool and 60 your first run and sunny and 80 your second. I don't think your getting Shiv's point that he controls every aspect of the environment while tuning on his dyno.

Perhaps the weather is 30 degrees cooler at the track than it was when you tuned your car at the dyno. So you can run more boost and perhaps even some more timing advance and get another 20hp out of the car. But you willnever know unless you datalog your engine while you are at the track. Same goes for the other way around. If the car is tuned for 60 degree weather, but you are racing on a 90 degree day, the car may not run optimally with the dyno tuned settings.
Since when is more data a bad thing?
The dyno is a controlled environment. But we don't drive or race in a controlled environment. You can get a good baseline on a dyno, but there may be more to gain given the particular conditons that happen at the track.

No matter what rules the magazine sets with regard to drivers, testing, etc,. there will always be reason for people to b#$tch and moan afterwards about how unfairly they were treated and robbed of the win Who knows, we may be the ones doing that this time!
Cheers,
Shiv
PS. If I have to go head-to-head against Rhys in a driving competition, I'm going home
But I'd agree to it if it meant being able to watch big Al drive his EVO in anything other than a straight line

As for who is the fastest right now - i am still the fastest with and without NOS - so do all the talking you want - but your still like 3rd or 4th place
1st place is still 1st place - 11.505 - thats the quickest time - do the math
Ultimate racing went 124 mph and i went 124 so your not the fastest either
Very soon - when and if I need to you all will be seeing the potential of the built motor and why we like to lay a solid foundation when we build a fast car

Although you may have not liked drag racing on this particular day... I would encourage you to try it again. A good day should get your 5+ passes. Keep in mind, this is great advertising. For those like myself who drag race, seeing you put down a 11.6 makes me respect your product.

Shiv - why the obesssion with Big AL?
Why not just enjoy your car and make your runs?
Why are you insulting Al and calling him out and then you ban his screen names from responding in this forum?
Why are you not accetping Al's challenge to race him in the Evo shootout ? Drag race - road race - lets see how the better man is ??
If Al is willing to drive his car 3,000 miles to race you why not make it happen with your boys at SCC and let him into the contest ???
Are you afraid?

long story that has been going on for the past few years

he does as you can see

again long story but these 2 have a tendancy of going at it

i am sure Shiv will be more than happy to race Al as he stated before
If Al is willing to drive his car 3,000 miles to race you why not make it happen with your boys at SCC and let him into the contest ???
because Shiv does not control SCC and have no say about who gets there or not
Are you afraid?
