I have the least amount of power of the group here(by choice). 319whp on Dynojet. Working on grip and keeping the car stable is priority, adding more power would just be cheating.. covering up driver mistakes. I just hope it doesn't take me long to get the most out of the turbo, Marc is the benchmark for a stock turbo Evo. Whatever his car laps should be the goal for every track Evo in the area if they are trying to go faster. What's the point in putting a bigger turbo running 16s when a stock turbo car is doing low 15s on moderate boost?

Since splitters are legal and beneficial, I need to make a TD or ShoeMotorsports splitter now. Any help/ideas?

Cheating at what?

I think quite the opposite. Adding grip covers up mistakes. Adding power allows for more mistake. Debateable I guess.

i ran 1:14.7 on street tires (kumho XS 255), stock turbo with huge boost leak (290 whp mustang), apr rear wing only, AST 4100 coilovers, some whiteline bushing, and no spiking gas. just saying
that should be your bench mark.

I ran a similar time in a Spec Miata at NJMP, maybe slightly slower, but the car has less power and aero. I think it was on Motons though which are better than those non-inverted AST4100. I just buy whatever I want in GT5 since I have a ton of credit.

I just ran a 1:15 at WGI in Nascar 2011 on my PS3. I am almost ready to dominate in 2 weeks.

Was it tuned, or does your car not have any drivetrain lost?

You had KWs, Bar, better pads, Star Specs and most importantly more experience. I think we ran the same/similar times that weekend though.

220 is about right with your power bolt-ons. They have 2 different dynos and read just fine. I've seen a car do pulls on their DJ dyno and 15 minutes later do a pull on another DJ[across the tracks] with very close results. The mythical high readings is all local shop war politics, that I care nothing about.
