Default 1ST Mod - LBE - WOW!

Just what this aging wastegate needed. What a difference. Anyone think I shouldn't increase boost *just a tad;-)* with everything else being completely stock? Not too much now, just a teeny tiny bit.

And so it has begun

Turn the boost up a little and it's all over. Open the wallet and watch the money get sucked out.

I think I'm gonna go with chips next. rberry951 (www.maxhpkit.com) has the Rennlist discount until the end of the month so I need to order soon. I got a MOMO Pilota 2 (pic) on the way so that should hold the desire for MORE until the chips get here.

sexy wheel for sure.

This is the way it starts. I felt my 951 was quick with my LBE and 14psi. Now with 300 or so hp it just feels slow as *****.

I need 400+

might as well start the x-mas list.

Words to remember: an engine is an air pump that works with fuel in a DESIGNED SITUATION. IF YOU CHANGE any parameter to MORE - YOU NEED MORE OF THE OTHER PARAMETER...this keeps things in check. If you don't know how to do this, then you buy a system.

If you want more hp now that you've had a taste, then call LR, get the 270hp KIT, and get them to take off the price of the LBE in that kit. Otherwise hoard cash and change to the turn of about $5k but also, make sure your base of an engine is ready to do the duty that you want.

Well the promotion on the 951MAX chips ended 11/1. Right now we're running the promotion on the 944SMAX chips. If I extend the promotion for you, I have to offer it to everyone.

So, it's extended. But I'm not going to put the order form back on the website, if any other stragglers out there want the promotion price PM me your email address by Monday and I will send you a payment button.

Regards,
Russell

Second mistake! Skip all the BS, spend the $7+k to start at 400hp.

FOURTH mistake- skip everything you ever thought was rational, and go for a supercharged 5.7L V8.
