cmiller i have nitto 245/45-17 dr's and i can tell you that with your power level they wont be enough. They really do a good job on fully bolted cars, but yours is alot more than that.

Oh but you're on e85. I never had them on E. I know I made 100whp more on E. Blew 3rd clean off on street tires tho. You have a 6spd anyways, that doesn't count xD

My 275/40 nt05rs did alright. But that's also a big contact patch.

Those with 6262 where is your spool and full boost at? I KNO your able to get big hp numbers but can you enjoy.the.turbo on the street or highway with how low our redlines are? Maybe I'm missing sumtin my 5857 starts around 3k so the 6262 is what 4200? Full spool at 4700 maybe, that's like no rpm band to enjoy the boost before shifting again, just asking I'm not sure..

I asked zzp if I could buy the cam phasers off them but they said no Lol. I'm no Scythe_Snake apparently. Maybe you could grab them since you seem to be their second favourite son Lol. Or **** it rev to 8k without phasers Lol.

They won't sell you the phasers? I have no idea one way or the other how they stand with selling them, but that just seems sort of odd. Did they say why?

"Still in testing" Lol. This is when I was thinking of going s259et but the turbo I got off bullseye was fucked from the factory. So the s256et went back in. Things happen for a reason and I'm superstitious. I want to stick with the 56mm now Lol.

You can still rev to 8k it's just not going to make a lot of extra power. It will maintain whatever it's at most likely. I lost like ten hp from 7400-8000 but if I would have had the phasers I would have prolly made another 20 whp after 7400 if that makes sense
