Ok so I’ve been using the blue SC, and want to send out a message to all of the 300WHP or less guys that are out there. As some of you know my car is missing a key component, the main power adder that got my car over 400WHP. Now I did not have any complaints about the power, having the rush of a freight train pull is great, and beating almost anything worth mentioning is great also. And mounting slicks on the car and getting 12second slips is also great, and the dyno sheets ECT................All that is great but at a large cost $$.
For those that cannot do it, please take if from someone that’s been on the other side of the fence. The grass is always greener on the other side. These cars can still be fun with less power. There are benefits to it, let me explain. My car has a very tight handling suspension, probably one of tightest in this club. Comfort and ride is sacrificed, but you are rewarded with a car that can take corners very fast without a peep. Now here is where the less power come into play, the car is way faster around the corners with less power. I can be at WOT going around the bend and exit much faster, before I was afraid of spinning the car around, something that could be done with ease. I’ve just been revealed a new insight on my car.
Another bonus is that fuel economy has increased greatly the stock Eaton, it does not eat power like a twin-screw does at idle and cruising speeds.
You also don’t have to worry about needing to fill up the alky bottle, in fear the car will explode.
The car was making a 12psi with the cold weather but now is down to 8-9 psi, still the car feels somewhat relatively powerful and strong. I wanted to just cruise with it since driving the car this season, but I the car does not ride smooth enough for you to enjoy cruising speeds, instead the jarring ride gets you mad and the car forces you to drive it hard and the engine and exhaust noises instantly overcome the cabin noises, after then the car then tells you “thats right give me more”, as you increase speeds the car becomes rewarding all of a sudden, at that point it brings you a sudden smile. The 265 front tires upfront are doing their job.
Call me crazy for witting this but it was just something I came up with after beating the car with a stick on my way to work.
PS. This is not an excuse for having a powerless car. Nor is it an excuse for some significant other person to remain nameless to postpone getting my power adder done. After all those dyno sheets are pretty rewarding also.
