Digging around with soviets old dyno plots. 17psi was around 300 and 250 foot lbs. So I'm going to street tune up to there, get my fuel map all smoothed out and then hit the dyno next week.

Rain is making it hard though. 4th let go yesterday. was fun.

Seriously, these cars are practically undrivable in the rain. I can't even stomp 5th without getting completely sideways.

Racelogic TCS is clutch in the rain. It transforms my car from deathly dangerous to the fastest car on the road in the rain.

Complete shot in the dark with these settings. Goal is to start with spark retard, and then switch to cut if retard doesn't do enough.



I have zero clue if this will work or not. Going to take some logs and find out though. And watch EGTs because those might get nasty.

My Quattro A6 c5 w/ a 4.2 and a 6 speed gives no ***** about rain. It does love itself some understeer though. It's also just 600lbs shy of my dads durango on curb weight. lol. Even better for the rain though...
