Just came back from runs with Sia and driving his car...
All I can say is WOW. The thing that you notice the most is the vast improvement in response. When you push the pedal the car actually moves!
First we did some runs at like 60 in 6th gear. When we both floored it, Sia pulled on me right away, and i wasn't able to catch him. After about 3 times, we were confident that he was pulling on me the whole time.
Next we did some runs in 4th probably about 60ish again. What we did this time, was I floored it and then when Sia noticed that I floored it he would then punch it as well. Eventhough I had a jump on him he was right on my rear quarter, and if we had more space he would definately have passed me.
When Sia was driving my car and I was driving his, we decided to do another test. While driving in 2nd probably going like 20-30 tap the gas quickly and release. Just a quick blip. Driving a stock car, I am ust to nothing really happening. Blip and release and there is really no movement or acceleration from the car. But when Driving Sia's car, this quick blip would lunge the car forward. Funny when we were doing this Sia was doing it to my car and I was doing it to his at the same time. While doing this we were on the phone, and I could hear him "clapping" my pedal on the floor, with no response or movement from the car. When I was doing this car would lunge, and I would get movement before the pedal was able to "clap"
In general around town driving, I noticed that the throttle was vastly improved and was much better than the stock car. In general I think that the throttle response was what the car should have had from the beginning.
Sia's car is basically stock, Revo and Strat Hyperflow. And I have Milltek non-res cat back, and hyperflow.
