I tried 17 lbs boost, but it kept spinning the tires on the freeway, took me out of my comfort zone, so I dialed it back down. Cheers. |
That looks like fun! I wonder if the same power in a naturally aspirated engine would make it easier to control wheel spin, and get more power to the ground. Still, that looks like a blast! What was your speed/rpm/gear when it got squirrely on the freeway? I'm just trying to get a sense of what my car will be like, but I'm only planning on just over 500HP/TQ to the wheels, so I know it probably won't be too squirrely, but I worry about traction from the middle of third gear. Not really worried, but just want to be ready for when I throttle it up in 3rd gear and starts spinning the tires.
