The car is awesome Whenever you get it to hook up ( and we all know you will figure it out ) can't wait to see what kind of numbers the car will put down.

Be careful guys
wider body means worse aerodynamics which will hurt trap speeds...

I know you guy’s are happy with the results any way !……. Every time you up grade the HP on a race car the hole set up need adjustment or up grade !



Maybe a bigger sides tire and testing a different suspension will do! ……….good luck ,can’t wait to see that beast do low 8’s

I don't think that's a problem with the car having too much power. There are other 4g63 powered awd vehicles with more power that don't have those kind of problems. I think it was a track prep issue, and/or the way the chassis is setup. Either way AEM EMS has traction control and speed based boost control, I'm sure the problem will be fixed soon.

You guys should have came to Route 66 on Saturday. You and I both know their track is prepped much better.

once again at nopi the track was prepped just fine. Every other car there hooked up fine. Full on drag cars,older evos,newer evos, and lots of rwd cars. Just friday night they prep the front not the whole thing.

I thing you need some bigger slicks and but the CCW rims on it. It looked so good with those on or black TE37, something black and wide, I saw these 15 inch rims on a skyline they were TE37 and there were black, with big slicks, it would look so damn good with those on and would hook, And like ProccoEVO said. It just needs to be set up right again. Good luck to AMS.
