It's been lightly raining here all morning and I just got back to my office. On my way back (I work out at an Army airfield in the middle of nohere) I stopped on the wet road and turned the traction control off, power braked it to about 2,200 rpm them let her rip. The rear wheels lit up and @ 6,000 rpm I shifted to 2nd the tires still spinning on the wet road @6,000 rpm I hit 3rd it still kept spinning the tires. This tells me that there shouldn't be any problem doing a dyno run. My front wheels were rolling, but not very fast... 5 - 10 mph tops, but the rear wheels where spinning big time. I don't know if this is because of the new chip or not. I do know that someone said that they tried to do a dyno run on a Crossfire and it wouldn't get over about 3,200 rpm because there was no speed signal being sent to the ECU from the front wheels.

So I'm going to see about scheduling a run at one of our local Dyno shops. I really want to see the hard numbers.

 

:lol: That's one way to figure it out. Might have costed a few bucks of rubber, but I bet it was worth it.

 

Actually I'll wear more rubber off this weekend in the autocross. I'm use to paying to play, though. :lol: Good thing my Bride is such a good sport.

 

WMichaels,

With all the hard driving you do at the track, how are the tires holding up? Any pedictions on what mileage we can expect???

 

Well, I've done 3 autocrosses so far. Each autocross consists of 4 runs that take from 29 - 38 seconds each. So it's really not all that bad. But it is a lot harder on the tires than street driving..... I have to say that with 6,400 miles They don't show much wear at all. I'm really impressed. (I'm running the PS2s)

 

Looks like the early doom and gloom forcast of 10k-15k was way too low... I'm kinda thinking of 25k or so, maybe a little more.

 

I really think that with normal - slightly aggressive street driving the PS2s should be good for at least 30k minimum.
