Your thoughts on humidity is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

This is the big hype? It's no wonder all these people are having boost creep issues...

If you are still using a MBC you might think about going up to a good EBC.

The AVC-R for instance will allow you to set per gear sol duty adjustments allowing you to correct for a lot of enviromental or load concerns.

Ditch those cams (need more lift/duration on exhaust side) since turbo is out of breath
5 or 7 bar map sensor so you can spike turbo higher
Ignition amp of some kind since stock igniton begins misfiring over 27psi

i ASSURE you these items will help in that elevation. if all the above items have been tried & they still don't work, then your only other option is to increase CFM by going big turbo. but u knew that already...

We got to stop this maddness

dude , for real , drugs are bad .

Did you get banned already? I thought there was a petition or something to get you to shut up.

and why would anyone want to do that? if you're annoyed by what i say don't read it/respond to it. no one takes advice on forums anyway. it is merely part entertainment, part experience sharing, part comedy, and most of all part fun. i offered Warr some things he might be able to use, & i threw in some things to get him riled up. there is no harm in that. he will do what his knowledge, experience & sponsors tell him to do to overcome his situation. iirc, 1/2 the members on the evoM don't like him either. i don't hate the guy. he will get his car dialed in & we will read about it. some will bash some will cheer, you may not agree but i'm still here...

Yeah, tons of people take advice from here...in fact, I think MOST people who come to EvoM follow at least some form of advice at least once while here while many follow what is said to a tee, because they don't have a lot of experience. The sheer number of PMs that I get asking for advice tells me this is true.

If you are now trying to say that your responses were half-jokes, then you should be silenced, but I really think you believe this stuff and are backpedaling after everyone calls you out...kinda like the other times you stepped in it.

EvoRecordSetter, the closest track that is less than 2000' of elevation is 350 miles east in Kansas - I think it's 1350' - but that's a long trip to go drag racing just to see some ETs. I'd hate to break something 350 miles from home, but it sure is tempting. I know where the track is only because I've already thought about it, heh...

housedj do us a favor and stop posting on this forum, everything i read from u on this forum has been idiotic crap, so please stop. once u go to the tack and set some kind of "record" we dont want to hear anything about u, ur car or ur stupid mods.



Warr, that sucks that ur ET decreased that much, i think it s time for some Nitrous

I make decisions based on a lot of things I see on this forum.

I tend to take the things I read on Evom with a grain of salt. After you've been on here a while you get to learn who knows what they're taking about and who is full of crap. I feel sorry for the newbies who really want to learn and then get steered in the wrong direction.
