I dont know if its me getting used to it but im sure my car is a little slower- these larger wheels dont help but im sure ive got more power hidden.
Im going to hook up my zetronix soon to get the a/f ratio and see if she is running lean/rich...
anyone suggest other things i can check/try out easily wihout the obvious going to a dyno. I had a full service and valve adjustment 3k ago and my k29 is only 10k miles old - no smoke on start up or whilst driving...

Miles. Sure you are not just getting used to it now? I have thought that before, until someone in a big V8 has had a go that is. I found that using 98 gave better performance. Go and pick on someone in a fast rice burner or something! I know that in my car, bad fuel does make a difference though.

I have checked the IC and it seems to be ok... perhaps im getting used to it i dont know- i am going to go for the HFS to replace my K29 soon and tune the a/f as well - with the zeitronix i can see if boost and everything is all ok.

just been reading your posts about keeping the 930 inlet and not going 3.2.... ive had second thoughts as its a big project to undertake yourself I might stick with the current 930 inlet and get the thing running efi first- that will be a huge difference in itsself... if then i want more ill do the 3.2 but would look like ill have to strenghten the engine anyway for 550+ and then twin turbo it whilst im there... so for now im going to make it simpler.
Megasquirt yes - more for learning purposes and to see if its going to do the job... ill have all my sensors setup so if dont do something stupid i think i can give it a go safely- and for fine tuning ill take it to g-force or someone with good rolling road knowledge. I can only see and learn mate!

I remember reading about a Swiss guy (Vincent on this board knows the guy) with 964 turbo who was running 315 rear, said it made a big difference, slower acceleration.
Hmm, really regret I didn't go for LFW when changing the clutch.

Yes! you are right it does feel slower with it..... damm it! I have really good cornering now..I mean REALLY good it just sticks like glue... but it has robbed some accleration..... I guess I will stick to it and just uprate the engine instead
