Hello Mike; ALWAYS Remember...There is a point of diminishing returns!quote:Originally posted by mike the snake:
I've been driving the car around, and it really is running nicely, especially for the street.
Ran it wide open though half of fourth today, MAN this car has a lot of power! The power is violent in 1st and 2nd, 3rd it just pulls so hard my eyes get sucked into the back of my head.
Stayed into it for a bit after shifting to 4th, but by that time I was going REALLY fast, so I backed off, but WOW!
Aside from running a little rich, I think the car runs pretty good. Good enough for me right now.
I'm just gonna leave things alone, and just enjoy the car, save up for my next powermove.
It was been constantly & consistently proven to myself from various tracking of my DeTomaso Pantera, that useable horsepower will beat massive horsepower 99.9999999999999% of the time.
Being familiar & confident with the powertrain & intimately knowing it's parameters & extremes, will give FASTER lap times than a similar car with MORE horsepower than the driver is capable of utilizing/applying...Mark
