I might need to hit up the track again for a 2nd attempt. From reading the forum, it seems that most people are only power-braking to 1200 RPM at most.

That day, I was power braking pretty hard, so I'm sure that had a little to do with my traction issues.....
Power braking and not letting any air out your tires.... I kept trying to tell you to reduce your tire pressure to help out with traction. Maybe the next time up I'll meet up with you and we could reduce your pressure and data log every run. I think this would be a great idea, getting your car out one more time.

I'll give you a example of how one little thing could impact your cars performance. Just recently I had a baseline dyno tune before and after my 82mm TB install. After the TB install my first dyno run showed a 35 rwhp decrease . We thought possibly I had a leak that related to how the factory airbox fit the 82mm tb. We re-dynode with and without the airbox, same results. The dyno operator and I kept probing around until we finally found a loose vacuum connection in back of the TB. We just needed to tighten up a clamp on one side and add another to other side, simple fix. We dynode again and got all the power back plus some. That one little leak cost me near 45 rwhp on the upper end, I'm telling you no BS!!! Just think, one little leak. If anyone doesn't believe this I have both Jeremy and Mike at Autowave to back the story up. It was truly amazing what something like that could do. In other words check your stuff!
