so the car finally made it out to the track saturday...

needless to say i was dissapointed...not on the car, nor the motor, just myself...lol

my suspension was fully set right, i need to drop the car just abit more for less body roll...

my P/s pump was just f***ing me over, cutting on an off mid turns...

the pinch weld in under the brake lines in the wheel well kept slammin into the rims...

so in conclusion...i need grippier tires up fronti need a new pump/rebuilti need to hammer that weld downand i need more set time...

no sir, i dont believe i did, then again my POS mail box is flooded by the Facebook alerts BS...i cant figure how to turn it off...

i guess you can custom tittle me: "The Hopefull Novice" ... fits me quite well to be honest...

BTW: i was reading the basic info on the CA (in one of the stickies) i see it says

Horsepower - 135 HP @6400RPM(DE) 175 HP @6400RPM(DET)Torque - 115 ft/lbs @5200(DE) 166 ft/lbs @4000(DET)

so does this mean on a stock CA best power band start at 6400rpm's?

yes i am this nub to all this...lol

i can do labor, but suck at facts...lol

Your best powerband should be between your peak torque and your peak hp, but obviously depends on your application. I'd guess you want to keep the turbo spooled producing boost but not choked past its efficiency point, so anything between 4500rpm to 6800rpm is where I would try to keep my car if I were trying to drift it.

Wish we had any sort of official drift / auto-X activity around here.
