  1. Very cool. That will be like a drift course in the vette lol. What was best time for the day?
  2. Backwards...... use the wrong ports of the gate....have it off the intake (to turbo). Ive seen all 3 :lolguy:
  3. Nothing really. I've done it on a few occasions- the problem in doing this with DSMs is the car/owner/build and limited data to troubleshoot. Most of the cars I tune need things fixed/corrected before we never start. I'd say 4 out of 5 cars need something FIXED that I would never see in a datalog- IE boost controller hoked up wrong, boost leak, wastegate not connected....these are all issues I saw with cars I tuned at my last dyno day. I will NOT remote tune unless I know the car and know its right under the hood. David Katz is a great tuner- very professional. FI you put out a message on FB/local forums about the possibility you may be surprised with the response you get!
  4. Get at least 4+ people together, find me a dyno, and I will fly down. Not joking! done it twice now. Dallas would be easy since I have fam I would want to visit while I am there. Difficulty is typically finding a dyno willing to rent per hour/day cheap enough to make it work price wise for everyone. Is there a Dallas DSM club or similar down there?
  5. Yes. Not dissimilar to an interest only mortgage on a property you intend to flip. However, it is very difficult to look at a car as NOT a depreciating asset. Sure, you can get lucky with a, for example, 2006 Ford GT, that does appreciate over time. But that is just luck. 98% of these purchases people are making are not focused on profit, but are focused on "purchasing" a product which they otherwise may not be able to afford. That's the issue
  6. Ha! Just help for people that dont know. No just going off my experience and dyno feedback. The knock sensor is already bad so its literally no help. AFR is just case by case. Some set ups like to be richer than others- hard to explain just you can tell by how the car runs/reacts to fuel. *peak* Timing is easy-once it stops making more power back off a few notches. Set up like this my goal is to keep peak torque as low as I can get it to keep the motor alive. On paper, a hard hitting 500hp 35r set up is harder on the rods than this one making 300 more HP Hope to be at CR track day again this year. Mexico action will be there, but limited Thanks! Im not as much of a wild boy as I used to be. But I will say the post-dyno test runs where a party. :dumb:
  7. No, you indeed just misread or misinterpreted my post. It seems all of CR realizes this, besides you. Im well aware of the power or correctly leveraged debt. Most small (and large businesses) businesses would not exist today without it. Not only that, but understanding how to correctly leverage debt has literally been my job for the last 10 years. :lolguy:
  8. Um nobody lol . You wrote a book on the subject literally for no reason.
  9. If its not making you money, and is not accumulated out of life necessity (IE, I need a place to live, or I dont have $10 to feel my kids, so I am putting it on a credit card till my food stamps come in) when is it a GOOD thing? And dont try to sell me on "Porsches dont lose value" bullfuck either LOL
  10. LOL. Merica' is so accepting of Debt its insane.
  11. Wow! Will check out. My buddy went up on Saturday. Is Saturday basically TnT and Sunday is the time'd event?
  12. At Dragway 42? I was considering bringing the Vette up there one day.
  13. Thanks all! Ha! Thanks. I'd love to get it on a Dynopak and get some dynoqueen numbers But I hope to see it trap int he mid 160s at this power level. When it hooks in third its pretty wild. Power band wise it is similar to driving an S2000, or riding a 600 (just with a fuck ton more power) if your out of the band, you either have to downshift or wait...LOL DSM Link (stock ECU w/ Chip) Its limited compared to everything else out there, but its cheap and works well for my needs! Simple Eagle/Wiesco Setup. 42psi is a LOT less than most going 160 plus are running. The guys at the top of the import 4 banger are all in the 80-90psi range these days. No real gearing options that are cheap. All I can do is add tire-but at 9k rpm with 26' tall tires I should be able to tickle 165 before the traps 200%. Thats where I WANT to be! I I could safely rev and shift at 10k I would. Consider what happens if I shift at 7500- I go to 5500-and I am out out of the power band. If i can shift at 9k- I call to 7k, in the middle of party time. Your talking about an almost 400whp different a those shift points. YES Fucking everyone now- but this one is at Red Line tuning. Big 3 has a 2wd (just picked up a 4wd) and Buschur has a 4wd. In my defense I was starting the pull around 4500 may not have even been at full WOT but even so it would not be much more Yup! I want the torque as low and as late as possible. Eagle rods and stock drivetrain- got to baby the stuff!
  14. Getting into Big Powa. Made 100 moreHP than last year. Called it good at 42psi. Pump E75, 14 deg peak so plenty of room to grow! 670whp on this dyno was good for 156mph, so we will see what happens. My only goal was 9.9@160+ hopefully I have that covered. Cheapo notes- this is using $200 "bosch" 2200's form ebay. Turbo set up was an even trade $$ wise-everything else is the same from last year. Stock ignition on Copper NGKs It may not "make 900whp" but it will likley be faster than a lot of guys "making 900whp"
  15. This is all awesome! I have some buddies up here that are doing this. Do you post this stuff anywhere else/public? None of them are on CR
  16. I got my 19s for $100 delivered LOL. But they needed tires- these tires look mad decent'
  17. So maybe I still dont understand... If I am going to a Internet in my power line set up- in theory wouldn't I have the same signal strength at each point in the system? If I have 3 "hot spots" I will have "ultimate signal" and ability to hardwire in at each of those spots? And not I am reading up on them- i am further confused. If it cant work through breaker- I dont see how this will help me at all as both of my location would be on different breakers "Note that power line adapters can't work through a breaker and perform the better the shorter the length of the electrical wiring in between them. " https://www.cnet.com/news/top-five-power-line-adapters-when-wi-fi-fails-you/
  18. Thanks guys Ok- so AP = access point. I see what you're suggesting of "over powerline" I thought it was literally above a line int he ground or somthing LOL. So-there are devices I can plug into the wall-plug an ethernet cable into- and have internet accessible through my wall power outlet? This is interesting. Nate on your suggestion to disable Cable provider Wifi- the APs would be "over powerline" then correct? Then- the AP's themselves would be the Wifi? Also, if do some sort of over powerline set up (assuming this is how it works) could i theoretically place my desktop in any room that has a plug, and have viable wired internet access?
  19. Any help from the IT gurus is appreciated.....
  20. WIFI. Its all in the house- no shop. Need better WiFi in the house only
