This is an auto . From what I remember yours is a manual?

I think you can run c02 or on board compressor ( probably better for the street).

Do you think it would be useful on a street surface with cars making over say 450kw considering the limited traction available ?

Any thoughts on the NLR AMS 2000 pro?

How do you set that up on an auto ? I was thinking something that reads rpm and road speed to work out what gear you're in.

There has to be a boost by gear controller that you can run on these cars I will ask my tuner next time I take the car in . See what he recommends .

Boost by gear

I've only been defected once in my fg , I was running drag radials at the time. Around my area they have a blitz every now and then . They set up an rbt and defect cars. I got pulled over once at an rbt in my c-ommodore ute . I had two cartons of beer in the back . They didn't breath test me , they just defected my ute.

But no fun , that's why more is better

I think best bang for buck on the fg is 4inch dump and cat, intercooler , injectors , fuel pump , tuned on e85. Enough power for a low 11 and and no louder than standard one while driving normal.

If you lived in the suburbs you probably wouldnt need anymore than 350kw . My car ran 11.2 with 340kw . But it all depends on the person. The acceleration in third when I had 340kw would put me to sleep now.

I have a fg auto and I think around 480 -500kw with the right sized turbo is good for the street . I'm running a precision 6235 , 23 psi on e85 . Nice mid range and top end . Traction is mainly an issue from a standing start or when the tyres and road are cold. Most of my driving is in 70 -110kmh zones so when I stand on it I'm usually in 3rd or 4th gear . It's only when I shift to 4th gear I wish I had 600kw

+35 with a 275 40 17 sits nice , just clears the control blade and sits inside the guard. I'd say at standard height +30 would still clear the guard but it would be getting close I haven't got a photo of them on the car showing how much clearance. If you want I can put one wheel on the car this weekend and I will see how close +35 is to the guard ? I had a search and found this thread , not much info in there but might be worth a look. Will you be fitting drag radials to these wheels?

17x9 +35 275/40/17

I haven't tried r888. I was running 275 40 17 drag radial , maybe the r888s would work better on the street. I still think boost by gear would be the best option

Haha thanks for the advice guys . I'm well aware of throttle control and running better tyres but I'm after something more. I can get the car away from a standing start at a good pace without a lot of wheelspin but I believe with a good boost controller the car would be quicker.

I'm after more traction on the street . I've been looking at the ams 2000 probably over kill for a street car . But if it gets the car down the road with minimal wheel spin it would be worth it. Can anyone recommend a boost by gear/speed boost controller ?

Not me ^^^

Yep

I work most Saturdays. If I'm not working I will come.

Yeah I'm keen

Hopefully you're planning on hiring the track . Would work out OK if you had the numbers

That's crazy . Hard to get my head around how they can lap the gp circuit that quick .

Looks like a good day. What circuit do they use for the time attack?

Missed all the bike talk. Main reason I bought my car and started modifying it was because I sold my r1. A late model 1000cc sports bike would walk away from my car in a roll on. Car has run 10.3
