New guy with a speed6 in Littleton

[COspeed6]

Do you live off Dry Creek, or near Cherry Knolls?

:creeper:

I do not haha. I work in centennial (Arapahoe and Quebec) and live in the ken Caryl area.

Everyone's going to give different opinions on the 91 tune vs 93. We run 91 gas here so I always just ran the 91 tune.

Not sure on the LC as I had an MS3. If I set it above about 2500 it was worthless. Actually it was pretty worthless in general and caused me to bog several launches so I always turned it off. With AWD though I'm sure it's different. Lots of people use it successfully on MS3s too but it takes some dialing in to get it right and when I went to the track I'd get maybe 5-6 runs if I was lucky so didn't want to waste them playing around with LC settings.

The flat-foot shifting you want to make sure the RPMs come down between shifts. The "experts" on MSF suggest starting at 5300 and adjusting from there if you need to. You want it to be lower than your shift point because you want it to be cutting fuel/spark while you are shifting. But you also want it high enough that it's not going to hose you if you do an aggressive downshift. So that's why they suggest starting around 5300 and experimenting from there.

Ahh, I see. I could have sworn I'd seen you around-- must be due to your work locale.

Good luck at Bandi!

I think I've seen you on Wads near 6th a few times. My cousins live in the Ken Caryl area so I'm up that way sometimes.

I'm heading to Bandimere tomorrow, should I run stage 1 91 or 93? Also shall I raise my LC from 3800 to something higher? What about my flat foot shifting? I have it set at 6100 right now.[
Mods: Cobb AP, TT front motor mount, strapped rear diff, and a dash hawk.

Our cars are tuned from the factory to run 93 octane, so on paper our car 'should' run better on it... but at the same time Colorado's high elevation is the reason for our gas stations only having 91 octane. High elevation = less air, less air = 91 octane is sufficient? I'm not sure of the specifics, but the short answer is no. Don't go out of your way to find 93 octane.

LC is set at 4,000 on my car, FFS at 6,000 [color="Red"]edit 4,200-4,600[/color], my diff is also ghetto strapped and I haven't broken yet, but I did break my rear motor mount once (wasn't even noticable in terms of drivability).

PM me if you have a question about something, I'd be glad to help.

Thanks for the info!
Have you messed with Access Race Tuner at all?

And to everyone else I didn't have have a great night at the track.
I only got 4 runs in and 3 of those I either bogged my launch or missed a gear.
On my 4th run I did a 2.065 60' and ran a 14.454 at 94.63 mph.
I guess I was excpecting more, I know I could take a few more tents off by getting my 60' down.
Is my driving that bad (first time at the track, ever) or does this car effected by the altitude that bad.
Oh and I was told that the DA during my run was 8728, can someone clarify what that means?

[COspeed6]

Just an update, I'm cat-less now. I ran a 13.9 on an ots map with a 1.9 60'.
I am in the process of being tuned for e85:)

Another update I now have a Gtx3071r with EWG hotside with supporting mods! Big turbo is so much fun!
