Default AP 24/18g's w/Softronic Tune

I finally put 5 gallons of VP109 in today, here are my thoughts:

The car has very little lag and spools very quickly, once you hit the top of 2nd and than 3rd they pull like a freight train until you let off. 30mph to 100mph happens in a blink of the eye. The car runs very strong, much stronger than the 16/24's I had

In closing I would recommend them to anyone and Dan at Vivid was great to deal with.

Christian, when did you install your K24/18g's ? Did you change your tune with the VP109 ?

Cheers Mark

im pretty sure he increased the boost 1.3 1.35 bar with a greddy ebc on vp109. Im also thinking of going this route since i have k24, best bang for the buck.

I run 112 octane (leaded) at the track. car behaves as you stated. but I keep my boost limited to 1.2 bar. so much power at that level you really need a reason to push it. If no specific reason ie drag race or whatever, I wouldnt push the boost!!

at Daytona this past weekend and my above set up drove away from cup cars koni challenge cars, RSR's whatever, so didnt feel the need to push it!!

here is a vid of a Cup car Clone 997 GT3 behind me and a Cup car behind him. bad vid but watch what this set up does to these cars on the straights, its impressive!!
