so i got a question does the rule of three theory apply to NA fc's (by rule of 3 i mean that you cant do more than 3 mods without upgrading to stand alone fuel management) or is that just for turbo models

thanks,

jeff

prolly 5-10hp peak, but you will gain 15-20hp in the midrange, between 4-6k, and more power over 6500 too.

Nope, God hates you, she's gonna blow.



Put your 12-sided dice down. The wizard knows not of this "rule of 3". Haven't you learned yet that there are no hard & fast answers?

problem is more that the na ecu runs like no timing advance in the midrange, safc2 doesnt fix that.
