BTW, Who from Ohio bought a Dezod kit?

People like abmerop can be putting down almost 200 to the wheels and run a 14.6 @ 10X.XX ...... its just not right. Look at my sig too LOL.

Stickier tires, even slicks at the track.....Stiffer springs, sway bars, LSDs....

Also smaller lighter wheels, and drag tires not sticky will help a lot.
(Sticky tires will mess the trany up for sure)
But it will take me some time.
I say about December.
The trany I want is a sequential 5 speed from an RSX that with minor mods on the housing will fit.
18k out of my range.
The stock RSX type -S trany may work in our cars too with housing mods and a stand alone like AEM EMS.
That I may do.
diamonds she will pretty much have to

, I want to get your turbo kit now, but two things are holding me back:
1) I entered your raffle so I don't want to buy it and then possibly win it. -and-
2) I don't know/trust the tuners here in Augusta so I would have to creep it to Atlanta or tow it there which is $$$.

Don't know squad about boost, but what about weights? Wouldn't that help with the traction issue?

Rep Power: 396 Eh, Type-S tranny? I think you'd be better off with the longer gears, letting you saty in boost longer. The shorter gears are just going to give you traction issues.
I vote 6 for N/A 5 for boost.
