Except on UP charge pipes. The sensor barley fits back on unfortunately. They just put it in a bad location.
I'm not planning on doing to much to my car. No WMI, no big turbos. I would consider hybrid turbo and possibly air to water IC if it is a super clean solution. I want to keep it a stock looking quiet sleeper.
Exactly. IMO the ECU tunes right now aren't providing any sort of tangible advantage over any of the piggyback cars. Sure, Tonka's car is 0.1 seconds faster down the track than a (more or less) comparable car (Kinvara's), but there's no way you'd notice that difference while driving. If we start seeing 120+mph traps consistently from an ECU tune on the same setups then it would be worth it.
There's a [reputable] company local to me starting off with ECU tunes on this platform... I might see if I can volunteer as tribute
Eh, i believe im on par.. please note that i set my PB in one track day with 3 runs on stock tires that have been all but slayed, never got to make more as i never tightened the cold charge to intercooler coupler and it fell off.. Im going to take it out next week on my RX7 FDs tires.. 28lbs a piece on the back 2 tires, 18x10.5 with a +50 offset.. wrapped in R888Rs 265.. I should shave off over 0.2 seconds with the launch ive been practicing and the lighter wheels/better tread... hell i was spinning second gear in an AWD on my stock tires...
Bottom line, im having more faith in JB4 for the short term, but they wont be able to compete once someone fully maps ECU down the road, whenever that may be..

If someone releases an off-the-shelf ECU tune down the road, you may still want to fine tune it based on conditions / mods / etc. I come from the Audi world and it was fairly common to stack an ECU tune and JB4 together
The better flash tuning gets the more useful the JB4 becomes as it turns out. Even Tonka here could use it to fix his top end boost and get MPH up I'm sure.

I'm sure he will eventually. But then what happens when the weather changes and your load targets change dramatically? Or when E85 mixture or octane changes? Being able to make minor adjustments on the fly can be the difference between a new record and a waste of a day.

Doesn't really work and when the battery does run out of juice, every now and again you can't revive it. Can only be charged with a special charger. It's a good race car battery just know what you're signing up for.
Update. Just came back from a 3 week trip, left the car with no maintainer/trickle charger and the car started up no problem, didn't even require to use the jump start option.

Nope, that will definitely change things for any battery. Probably best to have a maintainer in this case.
I installed a fused eyelet plug connection (comes with the maintainer) to the battery, so fitting the maintainer when needed is a piece of cake, just pop the boot and plug it in and thats it. I didn't use the maintainer this time just to see if the battery lasts 4-6 weeks as the manufacturer claims on an OEM car without any additions that could drain the battery, lasted 3 weeks and started without any issues, so I am sure the 4-6 weeks is doable.
