Eric, I'm not sure...but I would assume with a 12 HP gain from my last tune...the Torque would have gone up as well. Probably not much tho.

-------

Also, here is the NTAXS results for the year standings. If I can finish in 4th or better with Chris Hunt finishing behind me I will take the 1st place win for the Class and win a free event for 2013 year.

Everybody needs to wish me good luck ! I will drive my best on the 18th !

Don't be scared of a clutch. It's really not that difficult, just tedious. Just make sure you torque everything properly and keep track of all the nuts and bolts as it's easy to lose see when you take out that many. Once you've done it, it will make a lot more sense. First rune i did it, it took me forever but now that I've done a few, it doesn't seem too bad. What day are you doing it? I might can stop but and help if you need it. I've always wanted to do one on an all wheel drive since I've already done one fwd and four rwd clutches. One Hyundai, one g, one m3 and two z's.

Chris - you have to score 3 more points than Hunt to overtake and win it all. That means either you get first to guarantee that or he finishes two spots or more behind you. Actually, you can't finish any worse than third and he would then have to score sixth or worse to get you that 3 point margin. Sorry for being the bearer of bad news. Good luck!

Mike - is that Circuit of the Americas?

Actually, Fithian being 1st and Hunt 2nd will result in a tie. Easiest thing will be to just hope Hunt doesn't show up.

Chris, it looks like you gained a whole bunch of power and torque all across! You'll be even harder to beat now.

Good Morning DFW!

I couldnt sleep last night so I worked on my truck..Tested some 350z stuff on the Titan.. worked like a champ! just some sway bushings.. The Titan ones suck and lets sway touch the frame.. (makes a horrible sound when offroading) swapped out the bushings and voila - shiets all quiet now.. I tested it out @ 3am..LOL..
