Just curious, but why do you never race from a 40 roll or something? (although you are very good at launching your 6 speed TT, you would be killing these guys at a higher speed, especially with alpha 30s!)

What I've experience w/my own car on K24s is that my sweet spot is 2nd gear at 60mph; i'm not sure how good/bad the powerband is in 2nd gear from 60mph on the 3076s...mark?

that seems kinda high... what RPM are you at 60?

i usually do 2nd gear 40 or 45mph to get full use of 2nd gear since its probably the beastliest one.

No they usually don't, but I guess it depends who you have build/tune it.

I disagree...No matter how well built they just can not stand up to continual abuse on the street. A 700 whp evo is like a 1200 whp supra. Been there and done that with multiple builders. Just my opinion though...

Why stop there... 6th gear pulls from 25-60!!! We used to do those with big turbo cars, would take FOREVER.

nah been busy getting some things ready to go back to the track soon.

- replaced coil packs to get rid of misfires
- installed Forge silicone boost hoses
- installed 997tt transmission mount
- removed driveshaft for RWD action
- installed CCWs with drag radials
- had to get a new MAF since mine died 2 days ago.

What size are the ccw's? IMO you should have got them anodized black...they would look wicked on the school-bus!

You coming down on Friday?
