Congrats on 10s! How is your trans with shifting into reverse? This was the most noticeable with mine grinding while pulling up into a parking spot and throwing it into reverse. Re-bleeding helped but still having occasional 1st to 2nd grind. Time to get rid of the ACT XTSS LOL
let me know if you need a exedy or any clutch for that matter ill give you a good price.

thanks man. shift into reverse is fine. no grinds or anything. i think i do need to adjust / rebleed the clutch though. it started to grab low then high randomly. so im going to check that out soon when i get some free time.

Car sounds really strong! That line up at the track was absurd though, what the hell was going on there? You don't need more than a millimeter of roll forward to preload the drivetrain.
Also - I'd definitely start pushing that turbo harder before buying new cams. It should have a lot of room left in it.

Thanks I didnt know that about the preload stuff. the guy yelled at me after i backed up more.
I will.. im gonna see how it is at 38. just need to make sure next time it doesnt lower itself again, so ill do some 1/4 simulation near my house first.

Hi mason, I got it from my customer and he painted it that color. if you want i can find out what color he used if you want to do the same thing. Personally i like the black plenum better, but i don't mind the silver.

on / off throttle is smoother, it feels more responsive. low mph rolls feel much smoother.
take off even though i had it perfect on my maf tune with ipw tweaks it feels smoother on the sd.
the car is getting way more mpg with sd also.. i feel this is because the intake tract to the turbo side is opened up greatly to the 4" pipe and big k&n filter.. cars in closed loop so its nothing to do with me doing it.
i got 220 miles to a tank semi getting on it and cruising around the city trying to do stop and go to break in the trans.
just overall it feels more free part throttle, cruise, etc..
just feels much smoother and less jaggy then a maf in general.. you can stab the throttle and it will come in smooth vs on a maf it was on or off.. jaggy per say.
aside from that everything remains the same..
car always
cold started good
warm started good
drove good
made ok power
now i did change ALOT of stuff as well.. not just the sd conversion so it could be a number of things helping.. i really like the tial Q bov.. it doesnt surge, open prematurely or any of that garbage.. it is the best bov ive ever had to date on a turbo car.
but even customers i have on maf that ive converted to sd notice it right away also.. its just smoother. i could think of 10 off the top of my head that will rave the sd over the maf i recently did.

yep its just much nicer overall. and you gain more power with it also as long as you open your intake area up and take advantage of no neck down pipe.
