When you re tuned your car, did he take it to 8k rpm, if so how was the power delivery? I do shift mine @8k but it was still making power up there, actually peak power came in @ 7920 rpm. So, if your making power up there, rev it out since you have the gears. High redline and gears work well together
Yea I'm not sure if I am going to continue to use it.

Car goes back to the Dyno on Wednesday for LTH and retune. My original dyno my car made power all the way to 7750 but they wouldn't go higher he didn't tune up there yet so I shifted lower but on Wednesday he's giving me a track map and everyday map.

I'm grabbing a set of enkeis for track use ASAP. Got two rears for now and going to throw stock 350z rims on the front or buy two more of my winter wheels I had which were surprisingly light. (mb weapon I think )

The 18 basewheels are 2 lbs lighter than the rays but I sold them a while back. I regret doing that though.

I'm gonna go back as soon as I get some radials. Grabbed two enkei gtc01 18x10 , you think 285 radials or 305s? These hankooks spun all the way down the track , not worth going with them anymore haha.
