Heres some footage from my friend chasing me around the track.

The car os sporting a FFS banner across the bottom window of the hardtop (thanks Tom!) to let everyone know where the whine is coming from.

My trailer lights were acting up so i was out on the street tires for this event. 195/60-14 azenis just arent quite up to the task of handling the power from the 125mm pulley. As usual any track time is a good time.

Camera car is a 06 s2k with I/E on RE-11.

Sweet! I guess it shows a lot for the importance of exit speed. I'm sure you've got more driving the wheels @ 125/65 (what's that, 16 psi?) but without the grip to put it down on exit, you have to rely on power to catch up.

After you pointed him by, how close were you able to stay on him?

He had better brakeing, corner speed, and exit speed. The only advantgage I had was on the straights. 255 RE-11 >>> 195 Azenis. I was able to stay with hiw for a few more laps, but eventually the tires got too hot and I started dropping back.

He was one of my students so it was awesome to see how much faster he has gotten.

I'm seeing 14psi at redline, I attribute the lower boost reading to the oversized valves and no cat.

Do you know what kind of power you're making with that pulley? I have the same pulley but with an IC'd hotside.

Heading to a dyno day tomorrow. I'll post up a sheet when I get back.

That looked like he got mad when you passed him like he was stopped and decided to try harder. :)
