I think the water injection might have to wait

Your new rears will probably appreciate you not having WI.

Not doing it for the extra power Just don't want to lose lots of power after a couple of laps If I'm Being honest I think 300 ish hp is more than enough in a vx, but it does really push my ability with more and find it quite a challenge to drive

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

I actually think the car is just over 310-320 hp after a few laps when things start to get to hot

Might try zzr on the rear whilst keeping the r888r on the front as they still have plenty of life left in them

Do you monitor what you reach on track?

 

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

It gets between 85-90 maximum

If your not doing wmi for anything other than cooling.. Why you remapping?

Bigger pulley more ignition

less boost 

less heat  

change in AFR targets

 

same power hopefully

Wasn't about any extra power. If having WI means you stay out another 5 or 10 minutes at a time, given the way you already massacre your tyres, they're not going to be any happier about it. Maybe fit the water sprayers in your rear arches for tyre cooling?

must be time to buy a trailer and a set of slicks

Or bigger wheels and tyres to deal with the extra power they're trying to deal with?

maybe i need more finesse with the right foot   

[hughcam]

Or drive more smoothly?

This, I've mentioned it before.

 

You'll get more grip, more contact patch, more area to dissipate heat, less sidewall flex (due to lower profile), longer endurance on track, more even wear (due to tyre not rolling over), longer overall life. That's a lot of benefits, all on (arguably) the single more influential part for carrying speed.

 

Just look at all the cars there are in the world, there really can't be many cars which have circa 400 BHP/Ton yet only have skinny 225 mm or 245 rear tyres. Most would likely be in the 285 to 355 rear tyre width region.

A lot of these fast vx's still look like road cars.

It's pretty drastic to cut the arches and put on some pastic extenders, or put on a GMS clam.  

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

TBH nev unless i decide to take the car of the road im still tempted to go back to the M62 charger if i do stay with the harrop the car will probably be towed 

add a load of down force added  and run slicks and turned to a track car so can remove windows heaters etc and also make it lighter 

 

this is not something im keen on doing but the car is currently to much for the road and is a real challenge to drive on the narrow 225 tires on track (which i dont moan about as much as other people) so actually think going back to the M62 might bring the car back to a good road car and a capable track car 

 

will make final decision on that end of year
