Well that didn't work. Got some datalogs, and something weird is up. I'll keep playing with it.

I'm considering doing a day at Laguna before MRLS. With a 90db day. Anybody know of a muffler slightly smaller than the big magna flow. I have a trailer hitch and don't want to play the stuff this giant muff in this tiny space game.

Wouldn't you want spark cut to happen after retard? So 25 50 75 100 for retard, then 125, 150, 175, 200 for spark cut?

Yes. But you have to use the same x axis for both tables :(

Its definitely still in development. I hope it gets more features soon.

Oh lame. So you can really only use either retard or spark, by zeroing out the other. That ain't right...

Pretty much. Now that DIY is pushing the ms3pro so hard to the drag guys, I have a feeling things are going to improve.

I don't expect racelogic levels of traction. Mostly just to keep me headlights forward if I do something stupid.

Fixed.

In general, Audis are great 85% cars. Drive them at fast-but-sane street speeds and they're a lot of fun, tons of grip, tons of traction, stand on it at the apex and feel itself just pull you through the corner. Push them above that and they fall apart. I ran my first Audi (a B5 S4) at Laguna back in Y2K and destroyed $2K in brakes and $1200 in tires in one afternoon. Learned my lesson on that one.

And yeah, they're heavy. 3600 for that B5, 3800 for the B6 that replaced it, and my current C7 is around 4300 I think.

Deep down inside, Aidan is a ricer/drifter anyway.

Confirmed rocketship

Confirmed PTSD triggered

Confirmed I really want an EFR.

Confirmed Aidan really needs to sort out some rattles and add a muffler.

Thanks for the ride. Car really felt fantastic.

G's level +5mm of compressor wheel.

Can maybe get VD tomorrow. Will be seeing a dynojet this week.

E85 is a ways away. Only one station in town. And I'd like a trans solution before I push it.

I'm scared to do 4th gear pulls above 20psi. Because weak trans. And 5th gear pulls approaches way too fast. All my tuning is on country roads. And triple digits is a little scary.

The magnaflow people typically use has a 5x11" oval body.

If you look at this link, you will see options for other sizes including oval 3.5x7", 4x9" and 5x8". There is a 5" round as well.

This isn't something that I can imagine.

The exception here is that Aidan is crazy enough to actually USE it.
