Honestly? If you can't heel toe that is a sign that your overall driving on track may not be at a very high level. In that case it may be best to forego the FI for now and strive to improve your driving technique which in the long run will be beneficial to you as a driver.

As an aside, the 86 with the right brake fluid and pads is a great car to allow you to progress as a driver. As you gain experience you start upgrading things incrementally. A fast car masks your mistakes when learning. You end up using the power as a crutch.

Agreed.

I already have a turbo installed though (been solid the last 3 years), albeit a conservative 7psi putting down 260Whp.

I'll work on the heel toe at speed.

That's a nice power number for these cars

I don't know how big of a foot you got, I am a smaller guy and I needed a pedal spacer to heel-toe.

Make sure you hit up our NW Tracking thread. There are quite a few of us that post up there on when/where we will be driving. I had one of the PRL kits for a short time but ended up never installing it.
