I really like the new DD software interface - can't wait to play around with it.

Sharif, would you post up some more screen shots ? HP/Trq curve, A/F, and some of the other charts available with the new software interface... Thanks.

OK..that makes sense.....the poor man has been up and down; in and out; good that Forged could finally get him out the door. Brent must be itching to get moving for the season.

So what are in the plans for the 4 liter roadster, what can one do that cannot be done on a 3.5L?

Nice curve on the chart Sharif Considering this is wg boost at only 12psi, this thing should be a beast when it's done.

Congrats again Brent

Just thought I would post up a quick update:

The car is/was running perfectly. I took her to the Tail of the Dragon a few weeks back and beat the hell out of her. She can take anything I can throw at her: twisties, 150mph straights and even a few standing start 1st - 4th gear runs

The car is back in the shop for final tuning and prep for the AKA Rally and Bonneville Salt Flats run. The methanol kit, fire suppression system and upgraded fans are being put in for the Salt flat run along with a cage and harnesses. I am hoping to get my new racing seats and steering wheel in time also.

We are putting in the toe adjusters, raising the ride height a little (SOOO tired of constantly breaking the front bumper) and having the car corner balanced for as much stability/control as possible at high speeds.

She should be all done by July 1st, just in time for a quick shakedown before shipping to SLC.

people always seem to have issues with tires when doing high speed runs/racing. Hope you have a great package setup (suspension tuning as well) sounds like you do!!!

have fun and be safe!

Thanks, I think the suspension should be sufficiently checked/tuned before I go.
I have a new set of PS2's on the rear and getting new ones for the front now.
They are rated above 186mph so that should be OK.

Heck no...what fun would that be? We are sending out BamBam's ECU to TS, to have the speed limiter removed. Once ready, this car should be extremely safe for this type of speed test. Full cage, 3 zone fire suppression system, good suspension set, and everything else triple checked. Looks like I'll be flying down for the test in SLC, and hopefully Sam@GTM will attend as well.
