The short answer is no. It isn't worth giving up something you will enjoy on your car, or otherwise changing/conforming your car to win at something that you have almost no chance in winning anyway. Last edited by Yardjass; 02-10-2017 at 01:23 PM. |

The original question you are asking is a value question. What do you value? It seems strange that you bought the car as an autoX toy and would be considering a setup for the car that would make it less competitive (without a lot more setup). If you are not interested in doing the full STX setup, and this is an autoX toy, then NO, you should not do the UEL. In this specific instance, all or nothing. If this is just a car you enjoy, then do as you wish. - brian |

As others have stated, the wheels/tire combination offer a lot alone. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26jJ8xcY6Eg"]STX Lite vs STS - YouTube[/ame] |

I'm not promoting cheating, but the oft stage 1 tune (Oem header mapping) gets you easily halfway there in the quest to rid yourself of the torque dip. Most people don't talk about this, as they often buy the header then tune, or both at the same time. I ran the stage 1 tune for a year and really liked it. The power and dip reduction was more dramatic from all stock to the stage 1 tune than it was going from that to header and stage 2.
It's unlikely that would be noticed at an autoX unless you're gunning for nationals or something. Again, not promoting cheating, just saying. In the end I wouldn't stay stock on a DD when it drives so much better tuned with or without a header. Not for a handful of autoX runs per year. |

It's not just that - sometimes the reflash can do what I can only describe as a "awful" throttle response for 1-200 miles before it feels right. Happened quite noticeably the first time, and a bit after I went to stg2 (after I got a header). It isn't permanent, but definitely not something i'd do the morning of an autoX event.
just a heads up, your mileage may vary. |
