NSX4EVER is giving some good advice. By the way, What are your daily settings? The conservative ones?? I plan on running 18psi daily. I guess thats not too conservative.
It is tuned to be quite a bit on the rich side, at don't laugh 7.25psi on pt61, I am embarassed. :lol:
car made tiny 305rwhp, I think if we were to lean out a a bit more 330~340rwhp is well within reach at same boost level. This motor is as healthy as it left the factory.
For me the reason why I went with NA 5spd instead of picking up similar condition auto TT for $2~$4k more was that I absolutely would not settle for auto back then, 6spd TT was just way too expensive.
But now I would not mind having auto TT, after I learned the potential of auto TT, with higher stall converter, it can be quite fun, very quick off the line. Still prefer 6spd TT over auto TT, but that is in another ballpark cost wise. Knowing myself, if I had purchased TT auto from the start, I would also have done the 6spd conversion for sure, and tell myself I should of bought a 6spd TT :lol:
There are advantages going with NA, especially hardtop, lightweight is always better, TT swap into hardtop NA or NA-T, the potential is unlimited.
Seriously if your budget is around $15k, and you already have plan to invest in NA mods + you don't mind auto. Why not just get the TT auto for $18k, turbo from the start, no need to worry about tranny, bigger brake, little bigger wheels. It does weight a few hundred pounds more than NA. It is one option worth considering, I wish I could choose this option.
