Hey DJAuggie, does your stage 3 display look something like this?:

Ahhh very nice, did not know they had something like that.

AEM does it nicely as well, but it takes up your n2o maps, which doesnt work anymore for me.

Another way to do it would be to have the safe injection system trigger a relay which would cut power to the boost controller, thus reducing boost to wastegate pressure.

So what I'm hoping is people will take the time to ask some questions that they might need some info on. Maybe there's something you've always wondered. I'll give you my opinion on things, tell you how I have my car set-up, and hopefully give you some facts on why I chose to do things the way I have.

- Nothing on my setup is secret
- Feel free to ask me anything about it
- I'll do my best to answer every question and provide technical info on why chose that part or did it that way
- If I don't know how/why I'll take the time to post that too

I'm just hoping that maybe I can help you guys get quicker while keeping your cars in one piece.

do you believe theirs a big difference between c16 and 100 octane?

17 octane worth
that and a fuel's octane is not the only variable in it's power abilities.
C16 rules!

Huge difference.

If I'm going to bother with race gas I'm going to run straight up race gas (IE C16).

High octane unleaded is handy if you're loaded enough to run the fuel 24/7 and you like your O2's...or your car has cats. Since I don't fall into either category then C16 is the way to go for when I'm really wanting to peg the car out.

That looks like my ass. Actually, that's the one for the trucks I believe. Not even gasoline?

Unfortunately, I signed a confidentiality agreement. I gotta wait for Dan to disclose it.

I will say this: It's a touchscreen display and it's pretty pimp. That's just one feature adder. There are others too.

Also, who the hell asked if VP C16 was better than 100 octane?

Hey Trevor,

What is your take on breaks? I see that you are starting to trap near 140mph and was just wondering what your thoughts were about the breaking system. Do you feel like you ever need more break? Do you feel that the stock TT breaks do the job just fine? Is a Big Break Kit from StopTech something that would be considered overkill?

I have always been weary about being too hard on stock TT breaks.... and I just want to make sure that to stock calipers with drilled and slotted rotors would be enough to slow down trapping 145+MPH. I'm not saying that I will be trapping that high, but....
