Actually, I really don't give a crap about a Ralliart running 12's at the drag... my wish is it would shed weight and handle better, S-AWC shouldn't be a problem if the Outlander GT got it right Mitsu? right?

but great run and great time nonetheless

cams and meth? haha wtf.

Thats quite the odd route as you didnt mention a turbo upgrade.

I wonder what cams hes running, and if its the stock turbo how much meth can really add when it tapers as it does.

well if its stock turbo, the meth outside of a cooling mod is useless. He cant run the amounts of boost on the stock turbo that make the meth worth while. I can see a mild gain in power in the top end with the cooling of the turbo via the meth, but thats it.

There is a mechanical limited slip differential on the rear axle - whats wrong with that
The main reason for bad handling is POS yoko tires.

If Mitsu had also turbo/supercharged the Outlander GT and it had a twin clutch transmission then I would have bought one. With a slush box and mediocre v6 - nope.

A meth system with our stock turbo should be capable of pushing more power than our tranny can take.

I will be running E-85 myself this race season, but meth works pretty good as well. Even with a turbo that runs out of breath you can make gains because you can run much more aggressive timing curve than you can on pump gas, and just push the turbo as hard as it will go.
