Brian, when do you expect to be driving (and commenting about) an ND with the CARB tune?

I drove it home from Edelbrock with the pending CARB tune, stock header, and our driving is in CARB pending setup. Header on the car briefly and towed to dyno just for testing and for Mat to get started on tunes for Tuner version kit for non-California customers. Driving the latest CARB pending tune in the car again today with stock header again. I am told big updates still coming, but it feels really close to final, feels great. After testing finishes this will be our CARB demo car with stock header, etc., so folks can visit and take a ride and know what the CARB setup feels like. I can tell you that you are NOT suffering with the CARB install, the tune is well sorted and smooth start to finish.Freescopesdad wrote:Brian, when do you expect to be driving (and commenting about) an ND with the CARB tune?
Will you have THIS car at MatMR? Sure hope so...After testing finishes this will be our CARB demo car with stock header, etc., so folks can visit and take a ride and know what the CARB setup feels like.
Indeed the plan is this car at Laguna. No roll bar in this RF, so it won't go around the track. Will trailer up the ND Race car for rides around the track with the Tuner version....if we get it ready in time, that's the hope.Freescopesdad wrote:Will you have THIS car at MatMR?

This sounds a lot like how I feel with the mp62 nc, which I just finished installing. Yes, there is a slight mechanical hum but every bit as smooth and easy to drive as factory, only with much more fun. I am so happy with it and knowing the nd kit is that much better is that much more reassuring.Brian wrote:More direct from my wife today by email:
I just got back from my first time driving my car with the supercharger....and I am happy to report it is WIFE APPROVED! I admit I was hesitant to even get the supercharger, feeling it might become another toy that was too intense for my daily driving or long trips up the coast. However, my first impression was that it felt similar, yet enhanced. There was no learning curve or time needed to get used to it, it just simply went...and boy did it go! It is as if this is how the car should have started, it simply does what stock does but better. It is zippy and quick without feeling out of control or harsh. I was instantly comfortable and happy that not only did I still love my car, but I love it even more. Andi
