Are you racing the people on the track or just driving on the track?

HPDE isn't a race. If you are faster they are required to point you by. If you are slower you give them the point!

The Kuro helps dig you out of slow corners too! My catalyst said I hit 148.3 on one of the laps and I was leaving myself room (lift and Coast) in the straights.

144, wonder what the GPS speed was, and how close the speedometer is.

for comparison, same class of car, in my tuned 7.5 Golf R did 144.5 down that back straight, and tuned EN did 139 mph with only camber as suspension mod on 71RS, both stock turbos, GPS verified, both ran 2:11s, and I only have 3 dry days there, and it was my first time in the EN. ...

ain't going to lie though, it makes me a slight bit disappointed in the top speed of this car that it would need an upgrade to even break 139. these tracks with long straights do put the car at a disadvantage for sure, but can make it up in the corners hopefully.

Maybe it's the wing. I remember in the C&D 0-150-0 contest they attributed the wing to a huge loss of top end acceleration after 100mph.

I need more down force in the rear, I'm fine if I loose a little top end, but with how hard the car pulls, I doubt I really will. Having a catless downpipe and full exhaust really opened the car up. I'm currently on a tune targeting 24 pounds of boost, and @Jester04 has the timing very conservative.

Kuro is the best choice if response and keeping momentum is top priority. From 3k-7k range my car makes power like it's NA. Once we get the e85 tuned couldn't think of any better choice.

Only reason for this is the fuel quality along with those hot engine temps?

Good Grief! What were your vMax typically pre Kuro/motor build?

I know I could comb through video, but I’m admittedly too lazy for that at the moment ?
