Gonna hit up the first race on Sunday I’ll try it with the NM module set on low and high and see the difference (running 104!sunoco) still on stock 195-55-16 tires so I’m sure its not gonna hook up well but I’m hoping for a 13.9@101 or so

Should be able to hit high 12s- mid 13s once you get it setup right. PW is a nice color for the F56, nice car
