I have joined the FI fray--P&L kit/FA20 tune

I've kept this under wraps for abt 2 mos, but it's time to go public now that the kit is on & tuned. I couldn't be more impressed w/ Paul & crew's kit--it truly feels OEM to me when driving it & the quality is fantastic!

Toni has been very helpful in getting me tuned & on the road w/ a well-tuned setup.

This car is truly awesome now...



Pump & e85 @ ~8.5lbs--conservative tune for my HPDE work. Kill setting @ 13-14 lbs coming soon...

Precision 5855 is what's included w/ the P&L kit. The quality & fitment was excellent. We literally had it installed in 5 1/2 hrs.

I'm very pleased @ the tractability of the powerband, the power starts to build in the mid 3k range & is pretty linear--it just feels like a bigger motor. I was worried that it may have been somewhat peaky w/ that turbo--just not so...
But it pulls like mad in the upper RPM band--love it!
And when driving @ 70+ on the highway, the car leaps forward w/ mild tip-in.

This chassis really feels like a turbo was the missing ingredient, IMHO...

Looks good!

Question...is the intercooler just sitting on the plastic under tray & being held in place by the intercooler pipes? or is there some sort of mounting bracket?

It does have brackets, but it also rests on the tray as well. Very sturdy...

Thx, Andy--sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you...

Well, figures I'd debut the car @ the tightest course all year, where I couldn't use the power other than the beginning of the course, so...

It was actually my 1st loss of the year w/ the club. I got beat by a 2000# SC Miata. I was leading in the AM session, but they changed their tires to Hankooks (which love the heat & I got smoked--haha) in the afternoon by .3 sec--oh well; there's next month, where the course will be very HP friendly (ask me how I know lol).

My co-driver got giddy & left the throttle on the wood too long for the tight course--putting it in a nice spin lol
