You're my hero. Just reading your mods for the run and considering you are a '12 also and I'm thinking this might be worth emulating (slowly, surely, and one step at a time). I have been thinking lately that nitrous would be my next mod. Now I know it is.
Parts I don't have yet:
- DRs
- 3.45 gears
- SS diff
- Stall converter
- BMR Diff and cradle bushings, toe arms, trailing arms, tunnel stiffener and drivesahft loop
- Nitrous
- Tune
Aside from the nitrous itself, what other mod or mods from the list would you say have contributed most to your performance on the strip? It has only just recently sunk in to me that my burnouts tend to be a little "one sided" so the SS diff swap has been mentioned by some as the fix to that.
I have yet to completely understand what exactly an aftermarket torque converter does and how it relates to launch but if I'm thinking right, it means you can load a lot higher RPM behind it with your foot on the brake at the tree. Of course when you dump that power, if the parts down the line can't hold it, something slips, hence the DRs, etc. With my foot planted on the brake, I can only get up to about 1250 RPM +/- and no more. I don't know if that's the computer or the converter though but regardless, I launch at 1k on the stock Pirellis, else I slip.
Sorry for the ramblin'. Just trying to get my learn on.
