So I get to see you run high 13's while I struggle for traction in my high 14's

pwrful4 · 03-04-2008, 12:25 PM

We'll see what I can run, environmentals this time of year are good. Keep the front tires around 22psi, rears 32psi. I launch at around 3k, no powershifting. I'm trying to make my clutch last. With the x-intake I notice that I just get wheelspin and burning rubber, before with the Injen my tires would just chirp. I guess that means I'm putting down more power.

I have the problem of burning my tires with just the dcrh alone...it was worse when I had the cai...all through 1st and 2nd. Are you running summer tires?

02SilverSiHB · 03-07-2008, 08:15 PM

bump for those that haven't seen the post yet

That's what I told Mike earlier. I can spin through 1st and 2nd, and just a little in 3rd.
What is the turnaround on the reflash?

I'm in either way. I'll try to talk the wife into taking her car as well.

Not my fault. I wanted to go, but the wife has a test coming up at the end of the week and it's more important than going to the track.

02SilverSiHB · 03-11-2008, 01:00 PM

oh, test for school? understandable

Her's is CDC's which she needs to get done so she could school or a parttime job. I'm also starting school, so we need all we can get, plus gas won't go down and our loser president won't do anything about it, so....

oh, hell yeah...definitely understand that...they don't mess around with people failing their CDC's

lol...you don't like Bush eh...I doubt any president can change the gas prices...it be nice if someone did though.

So are you going to go through ROTC or OTS to become an AF officer?

ROTC seems to be the easiest way...imo...from what I've seen. My ex did that.

pwrful4 · 03-11-2008, 07:21 PM

OTS is the easiest way. Mike, I'll definitely be out there tomorrow, wish more could come. BTW I'll bring a DC powered air compressor to inflate the tires after we're done.

I don't know the difference between the two. I am gonna go chat with a recruiter or two here shortly.

ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) is associated with a college or university. You attend class while going through military training/classes at the same time. Typically associated with a 2 or 4 year scholarship with a commitment after you're comissioned as an officer (typically close to the day you graduate from the college). OTS (Officer Training School) is located at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, AL. After you've received a bachelor's degree you attend for 13 weeks and after completion you're comissioned.

And that's the equivalent of enlisted's bootcamp?
