T4 TS 6266 with .84 AR right now, MAP is making a kit for me.

I like the sounds of this! |

I wasn't offended, I'm just saying I know it takes some time.
I was just ribbing you, but well this 600whp beast has been together and I've only seen it do work 1 night in the last few years.
That new setup sounds bomb, Tom likes that housing, but I'm curious if its too small for the top end.
Has anyone else done TS T4 with this motor? Seems like it spools turbos fast as hell already. |

lol you got me! Sadly I signed up for a auto-x novice school that weekend a few days ago.
Cruise isn't as important on my list as you might think, esp. given feedback from people.

That sucks. I've loved the 3 I went on.
Murlo that will be a crazy long powerband if does that. I'm interested in the top end on your car, it seems like these X's just keep on making power at the top of the RPM range. |

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
Cruises = 5-6 good solid hours of awesome driving, racing, eating, BSing, then get wasted and have awesome stories to tell.
Auto-X = stand there and watch other people drive for 6 hours, drive for 8 minutes, stand there for 6 more hours, drive for 8 minutes. Go home sunburned.

With a good mix of lurking around listing to the endless stream of inane drivel based on internet forum group-think vs empirical data.
Sorry to crap up your thread, Dave, I am sure you're car will posses all the right statistics when you are done with it.
