Do you really believe that this new tire represents that large of an upgrade? If so, you're fooling yourself. Why not buy R-Comps and wipe the floor everyone? These cars were designed to fit...

An ECU tune is not going to change the fact that components in the car were physically not designed to handle running on corn. Let's see how many issues people on E8x run into in a few years...

I am amazed how low the front of the FR-S is at stock height. Nearing the windshield, it doesn't look noticeably taller than the 86.

What's up with the AFR's leaning out over 4,000ish RPM? That looks like it explain the gains you saw to me. Or was there a complication during your pulls (tailpipe sniffer messing up, etc.)?
