[rockon] on - that is pretty tasty!I don’t understand how you guys with big boys are managing to put any power down, you must be going through tires like crazy! What are your HP and torque numbers with that setup?

How do you like the exhaust? Did the sound change with the mrx? That turbo and bilstiens are on my list as my next big mods. Idk when there going to happen but they will. Probably have to give the wife new counter tops or something first ha ha.

How do you like the ride quality on the coilovers when set to that height? And do you think they are stiff enough to handle an auto-x or some aggressive street driving? Love the build!

Ride quality isn't the greatest seems abit soft honestly rides worst than my Svt slammed on H&R Coilovers that may also be due to a smaller wheel base thou. Aggressive street driving shouldn't be a problem auto-X maybe questionally

I'm disappointed about the ride quality report. I am catless with the cp-e exhaust and love the sound. A lil louder aint going to bother me.

Nice build, hows the torque steer with that much power. I’m going to the mountune MR230 and wondering if torque steer will slightly worse than my MP215 tune. You have plans for a bigger radiator? I recently ordered the mountune radiator more as an insurance that the coolant levels don’t ever spike into dangerous levels even though I don’t live in warmest climates by any means

Torque steer at stage 3 is minimal but, being big turbo I catch myself fighting it in most of third gear.

Thanks it’s a blast

Is that the usual power curve for an MRX? Looks like it has quite a bit of lag.
Yes it does tend to have some lag.

I heard that it had some lag but that graph is up there.

Yep some lag but, isn’t terrible

Wish I went to the event and saw this thing. Got tied up doing house work unfortunately.
There is always next time
