Boost is build base on exhaust energy, with no boost going in the engine, there's less exhaust gas. I would route the ic pipe from outlet back into turbo intake, as a recir system. And put an Akimoto cold air intake to the throttle body.

Free ice cream if I can keep up with dek. Boom

what made you want the streetlite? i ran one back in my honda days, and it wasnt bad, but the car was caged/gutted/solid mounts etc, so i couldnt notice the flywheel.

got an Email from Speed raceway.

5 hours unlimited racing for $75 bucks on Thursday, May 23rd. 4-9PM

Monster track isthis thursday. 20 bucks for 8 laps (a little steep)

Then, they are doing 500 bucks off a track rental right now if you book before June 1st.

Maybe we should call and find out how much the track rental would be for a few hours and get a good PCD group + friends and fam together.

thoughts, questions, concerns?

Thumbs up June 14 - Private event at Pocono

EFI Logics and RDZ Motorsports are hosting a private event at Pocono North on Friday June 14 for those of you who want to attend.

We're going to announce a NASA Instructor Training Day paired with that event and will have our Instructors and Candidates work with all non-solo'd drivers. There will be A LOT of track time and more AWD than you can handle

It would be great to see a big PCD turn out as we have a lot of DE'ers and Instructors in PCD, and the event is in your home state. PCD should outnumber the New Englanders at least 2:1!

The official registration will be up soon, but in the mean time, feel free to ping me with questions here or at NJMP this weekend

Look forward to seeing many of you there!

Nate, my reasoning for the streetlite is the same reasons you've already mentioned; driveability. I was concerned with startup problems, quick rpm drops, etc. I have always heard the convention that street cars need alittle more mass. However, my Prolite has been fine, and I haven't had driveability or startup issues. I don't know if it has anything to do with my engine build; the entire assembly was balanced and blueprinted, including having the flywheel bolted onto the crank for balancing.

So if chu bolt the fly wheel to the crank for balancing, what's gonna happen when chu need to replace the flywheel. Shouldn't the crank and flywheel be balanced separately.
