Ha yeah, James almost needed a clean pair after that first pass. Like he said, it used to be a fun car that was kinda fast, but now it’s a real deal race car. Wait till you see its next track day! 😎🚜💨
On the stock ECU, I wouldn’t really call it a “struggle“ but in order to get the most out of a competitive car, I definitely recommend going to an aftermarket ECU like a Holley or a Haltech. Initially, I had the stock 99 computer dyno tuned down in Baton Rouge and it did fine and worked for a while, but I will say, ever since I went to the Holley, it has been night and day in comparison! That Holley provides a ton of good data and is a lot more user-friendly than a system like HP Tuners. I actually tuned the car myself on the Holley. And I’m no expert when it comes to that stuff but was able to get it dialed just from watching some TH-cam videos and doing a bit of reading. With the stock ECU you definitely can get a car down the road and make things work, but if you really want to be competitive, an aftermarket ECU system is definitely the way to go. Once I made the switch to Holley, I was almost mad at myself for waiting as long as I did.
This thing is nuts... jumping a soda can is one thing. Spinning on the bead and crow hopping the whole car is terrifying...
