Jeremy did not seem shocked. He said the 1.8L has not had any problems, but there have been some problems with the 1.6L
    ? I thought you had a '94 w/ 1.8L? I've been thinking about going to a manual boost controller, because this is the one area I can't seem to get tuned just right. As soon as I think I've got it from testing in 3rd gear, then I go to 5th and boost and the boost is wabbly.

    I'd just like to look at the maps and datalogs for comparative purposes. Just to see how a pro tunes vs. my tuning.

    Can't even really compare 1.6 and 1.8 maps. Have you done any datalogs?

    I just kept reading over and over MERV's writeup he did a few years ago.

    http://www.checkerstripe.com/outlaws/msr/hotlap.htm

    That gave me a very good start at hitting the proper braking points and remembering to late apex a few corners.

    Thanks MERV!!
    Great job, Screw! Glad the writeup helped. 27's is plenty quick, so I'm not surprised you whooped up on the 'vettes. I would love to have that BEAUTIFUL yellow 2006, though!

    I thought of you once, while I ws at Laguna Seca, wondering how it was going, but then we finally got open track time in the RT2000's and you faded from my mind....... I'm still smiling :)

    I figured out one of the weird sounds in the suspension. The lower shock bolt on the drivers side front shock was loose. Thankfully, there were not a lot of laps in the race. That would have been bad.
