Wish I could get the o2 housing before my custom tune this weekend

 

Uh, no, not only is it not true, but I don't believe someone actually said it.

Invidia is not cheaper than Helix, but there's no reason to get Invidia or Helix - just get the regular Ebay o2 housing. You can get it pre-coated from Buschur.

er0e, the RS will not make anymore power than the other models, so no need to ask what an RS would make. Please don't ask for power number guesses for your mods, because it depends on the boost you run, the octane, the tuning quality, the tuning level, the type of dyno, the correction factor, the ambient weather conditions, and the altitude. Just add your mods, get tuned, and go to the track. Dynos are just measurement tools for before and after.

 

Im going to ask al from dynoflash if he could possibly tune mine at the track since I live right next to it. And get a 91 map and a 104 map. The 91 map and 21 or 22 pounds and the 104 at 28 to 30psi

 

He can do that, but I'm not sure he'll have time to go to the track and spend time with you. I'm sure he'll have a schedule with 2hr timeslots that fills both days he is there.

 

yeah Ive got the 12 to 2 slot.

 

I hope that I can dip into the twelves!

 

I was refering to my friend's RS, since I own a GSR. I know they are the exact same thing.

Is running 100 octane without a tune and these mods bad?

 

You can do 12s right now untuned. You should be shooting for low 12s with the tune on 91oct and 11s on 104.

 

Bad? No, why would it be? It won't do you much good, since the stock tune is so rich, but you can turn up the boost same and maybe make some extra power. I wouldn't mess around until tuned, though.

 

Thanks, im a total newbie I know

 

really. I thought that I would only get 12.7 with the mods that I have. Like 310 to the wheels maybe?

 

I ran 12.8 with just a self-tuned SAFC on my 05 and ran 12.26@110 on 305whp with less mods than you have on an VIII, which makes less power than a IX. 310 is good for 110mph traps, so a 12.7 would be very poor driving, but it's very possible if you're not experienced. What you accomplish and what the car is capable of may not match up until you get some practice.

 

yeah my driving isnt top knotch. I have never been to the track before. Hopefully al can give me some pointers at the track if that works out.
