Talk about someone who hasn't tried it. Sure theres downsides to it and I wouldn't do it on a porker such as everyone elses but it didn't effect the XT6 in a bad way when I sheared mine autoxing either. If you want to arm chair race that's fine but leave the real adjustments to those who actually have raced the thing. Still waiting for your answer on how my tires are gonna grip better with 1/3 less traction. Oh right you can't answer that one! |

Ben,
It's obvious from his posts that he has no autocross experience and has admitted as much. He said he prefers track days. Not sure how many of those he has done and in what type of car however. Seems to be as you stated, more of an armchair racer to me.

Nice turn of a phrase Tim...pun intended
Nowhere on this forum to actually discuss racing, autocross, rallycross, tack days and such. I'm fine with a meandering thread that has wandered off topic. Intresting responses don't you think? I'm glad some here have taken there cars out to guage their performance. I want to do a track day but cannot seem to mesh my own internal dilemma by taking an automatic trans car to an open track session. I wish more of you were around here. I spend too much time with the Impreza guys and there fast but not particularly attractive cars with the world of available bolt on mods ready to be ordered and popped on Todd

But the ultrablast 5000 uses X tires and it has 8,000 hp... it will be fine for your car. But only on the front. Your back weighs the same as a yugo... so go for 155-80-13s there.

Give him a break fellas
He's bigger on ideas than experience. We need ideas people, even if the ideas need to be a little more thorough.

I am ALL about ideas.I have been dealing with the 2.3 ford lima turbo since about 90ish.
For years it was a commonly held thought that you couldnt get over 300 hp with the stock engine managment without spraying it with N2O. 205 was the highest stock rating. I dont listen with to "can't". I tuned and tweaked a stock longblock to 332 hp and 344 tq... at the wheels. With no exotic parts. I just tend to lean towards hands on and real world ideas. You stop dreaming, you stop living. Jim

LOL that is the same motor we used for a log splitter. I wish we could have used yours. Could have thrown the logs from down the street instead of just across the yard.
