Stage 3+ FTW.... All the high powered AZ guys are doing it.

Are you talking about calming the TQ down to save the clutch? Make it not peak as high?

Yep I can ramp the max airload torque up slowly to help with clutch slip issues. Nick's tune is 100% max airload torque all the way across and 255% desired airloads (24-25 psi).

Clutch pedal is near stock weight and travel. Nicks chatter I think is due to the spec flywheel. I used stock resurfaced and mine does not chatter. I will take the abuse and has a high tq rating.

Driving will matter. Any re tune you have to drive down there? No trying to steer you away or anything, just seems like a pain. Also I have heard vince isnt the quickest at getting back to you for a tune.. But I dont want to make this into a pissing match. Just some of my thoughts. There is a trifecta guy in town too.

If he goes E85 he would need the fuel pressure increased by trifecta.. Which is fine I am trying to get this into trifecta vs. HPT.
