Drivetrain RMW's "Guess what's in the box?"
I assume you're referring to the TVS header and the "quiet" exhaust.

I fully give you permission to use my car for any videos that decide to do! Well, I take that back, no mud holes...

I don't believe Jan will be putting TVS headers on those cars. I'm sure they are for TVS cars and stroker only. May be used on highly moded 1.6L but I would think those are right at the limit of power,such as Danny's car.

the drive is worth it
what's a 1500 mile drive on coil-overs, somewhat loud exhaust, and RSD. comfy ride
what's funnier is, my girlfriend said she's going on a fun drive with me in a month, haha, she hasn't been in the car since I got the coil-overs. It's gunna be a 5 hour drive

Here's a question.
When my stock supercharger fails I'd like to get a TVS unit from Jan. However right now I want to put on the RMW street header - should I wait and get the TVS header or will the street header be ok for the TVS on a 1.6?

Eaton told me at SEMA that they would have the TVS by Sept of next yr at the latest. Hopefully they will make the rotors before then. The TVS 900 will work on the shorty but will obviously work even better on the stepped header.
For it to work at the maximum you will need the head for sure
once we get the TVS 900 then I will be able to tell for sure. With this much cfm my guess would be to go to the bigger TB but time will tell. We will test it both ways to find out

You lucky dawg! I look forward to the results. Will this be the TVS header and quiet exhaust, or just one of them?

wheels.... Motegi Track Light 2.0s
Hoosier 225/40/17"s
NO WEIGHT REDUCTION.... all completely STOCK.....actually weighs more as I have a W2A in the car
when you have 262whp/234tq.... who needs to take out weight?
if you look at Madness's best time with a pro driver in their turbo car on the same track it put down 1:31
I ran the farthest you can around the track....1.8mi
on the last track day I ran 1:28xxx on 5 laps and multiple sub 1:30s
when you take out the warm up laps you can see every run was 1:30 or under
I did 1:28 in only 5 track days.... I went 1:30 in 2 track days.... go figure

Paul I understand what you are saying as the tires can't compare equally but don't you think all the suspension work, quaife, wilwood brakes, and increased horsepower (and maybe torque) that was done on the Madness car could overcome a few R comp tires??? I dont see how just running some hoosier's makes the comparison unfair and in Jan's favor????
