Depends on what Radial. The 235/60/15 M&H i tried sucked and fucked with gearing too much. Looking at how well my car hooks now i dont think anything will get it much better lol

Im using a Moroso 5.5 qt Drag pan, the one that has a Moroso pickup and the sump in the back. I run it at about 6.5 quarts though.

This is awesome, Myles!
Since you're IAT and ECT seem to be on par, I would recommend closing off the front end of the car and see what you can pick up from that. I bet you'd see the 190 from that alone with no other changes.
I'm gonna play around with aero this year too. I have a few ideas, from you and others, that I want to improve on.
Thanks for sharing!

PS: They are cheap enough.... Have you thought about vortex generators near the rear of the roof line?

Great stuff Gringo... loving the updates on this thing. Been following your progress and the car is a beast. Congrats on the new best. 190 is so close!
Curious if you can tell me, where you able to just directly load your v2 cal right into the v3 without any issues?

Honestly i think this car will go 190 how it is. But there is talk of letting me use another turbo and make a little more power so that will help too .
Ive actually been talking to doug at Hondata about a rear wing, being as hes been faster than anyone in a honda he knows how to make a nice rear wing haha. Something similar to this:
Closing up the front end would deff be and advantage tho. I keep thinking 190 man that would be awesome. But at the same time, wonder how hard 200 would be? lol i know it would be super hard and i have a ways to go but holy **** it sounds like a good idea.
What ideas do you have for a diffuser? Pm me if ya want!
I actually had S300 V1.It was a direct swap tho, no crazy stuff needed.

Bisi's 230 was a hoax, the fastest car that ran that day Bisi claims was 224mph and it was a Lambo.

Looks similar to the wing on my drag car, but a little bit bigger on the vertical pieces. It's extreemly stable at high speeds. I actually adjust mine such that it applies down force to the car since the rear end is so light. I'm sure I lose speed from it because it's additional drag, but I want a safe and fast car.
I'll be in touch shortly about the diffuser.
