If I go over I can always just flatten it out.
I bet you'll see a bigger bump than that with those changes.

Just pulled the trigger on BP5A cam, so no reason not to make the power now. Just need my new tollway pass to come in so I can go waste far too much time with virtual dyno before going back to real dyno Also picked up a straight pipe for track duty, not sure that's worth anything over Enthuza OBD-II cat, I'm inclined to think no, but will at least give it a go.

I've lurked here long enough. I have had the privilege of being pressured by flier129 and Efini~FC3S on joining in on the TT fun before going W2W. I've spent an entire year on street tires learning to control my car to the best of it's abilities and now it's time to start tweaking it for wins. Got my check ride complete at CMP last weekend, so first TT weekend will be at Road Atlanta in March. Here's to many flat-outs.

Come TT at VIR so I can start hassling you about not running PTE.

March 23-25 with NASA Mid-Atlantic that is.


I will be at Rd Atl in TTE. Wanted to run PTE or ST5 but there will be no one to race against/with. #sadface

Going to be co-driving with my cousin in TT. Haven't registered yet...need to.

I might make ViR in TTE in March, pending cage completion. Comp license at Roebling in April is a no-go for me, work schedule conflict This pushes PTE back to the fall. I really wish they had comp license courses more often, oh well.

Also, I can bring my transponder to RA and do a session each day in your car or even Allen's to help class make numbers . Rensel will be there in his Sentra and he got down to a 1:43.0xx in December. He's stiff competition and a blast to run with, we've both received the red-mist a time or two running together.

There is comp school at Hyperfest. I'd be surprised if SE didn't accept a MA provisional. March VIR has comp school too.

Too strapped for cash to do March comp school. Comp school anywhere outside of SE is ~$500 more :(

Sounds like TTE at March RA should be a nice sized group. 3 already registered, plus another ~3 from the sounds of it in the last few posts? I'm hoping to make it as well, as long as I can get a tune in time. I won't be on Hoosiers though, but hopefully I'll help someone else win some!

I have not been to a hyperfest at VIR, but I have been to half a dozen at Summit Point. I would absolutely not want to do comp school there. Way to many other things going on for me to feel like I am getting my monies worth in comp school.

Comp school happens on Friday. The only other thing going on is UTCC which is a really hyped up TT.

A few years ago one of the TT class records at Road Atlanta was from a Sentra with a Maxima engine swap.
