ah yes, well that makes sense. What about the Challenge car setup (I think they're 4-pot 330mm.) Probably will be even lighter than the 6-pots.

Thanks for the vid Doesn't have to be today (dynos distort the sound a little anyway)

Might be lighter,will ask a few pro drivers and constructors and see what they say.

Just got a email from my co driver from nurburgring 24hrs and he said more pistons=more clamping pressure and easier to modulate

Before the map in the cold side tube. Or before the map in the manifold?
I have mine right after the sensor located on the hard plastic potion of the coldside tubing. Did you put yours in front of the sensor and if so why?

Ideally it should be as far down the cold side as possible (away from the mani)...

Right after the IC outlet, typically is perfect

I agree but only for a non direct injection engine. aem was pretty clear on where to mount it.

I will ask Larry first thing thursday cause Jan has a new tune for me on friday

I hate that my Jcw is the test bed for multiple tuners/shops, soon it will have more miles on the dyno than on the street .

Yea really. You're the trailblazer for finding more proven ways to get more punch out of this MINI.

Where would you find the supersprint dp for less than $300? I'm seeing it sold for much more than that
