still unable to really get on it......we have had rain for a few days now and supposed to until Tuesday.

I'll let you guys know how it feels when the roads dry up.

 

yay, please do.

 

Did the rain go away yet?

 

What he said... :D

 

Rain dried up and of course my car pulls like crazy and i do notice when i hit boost and usually had a delay in shifting but it cant notice it now. I haven't been to the track yet so i can't comment on wheel hop yet, but that is something i am going to test because previously wheel hop really slows me down on my launches.

It's actually very dry today so maybe ill test it on a side road and let you guys know.

Overall i do notice a little cabin noise like everyone says (didn't use dynamat). I do notice shifting is a lil crispier ( ). I assume itll be a lot better because i still have the dampner set at the setting that it was already at when i took it out of the packaging. I haven't had time to make it stiffer which im sure will make a difference.

And just for you "SCHILLER" i'll try excelerating over bust when boosting to see if it makes a difference. I know before when i would boost over bad bumps it would feel like my engine just dropped right out of the car.

 

I installed last night. True, less wheel hop and crisper shifting, but it is LOUD inside my car now. I just threw it on real quick, so I plan on taking it back off to install some sound dampener. I really just wanted to see how it performed and sounded under conditions using only the supplied equipment.
Overall, yeah it's pretty nice but not sure if it's worth $150. Probably better for the boosted guys and the guys with higher HP N/A.

 

Did you get the sound matting in?

Also $150 is cheaper than going through axles and possible breaking other stuff from wheel hop... It is good to protect the vehicle by getting the items that will keep items from wearing by setting them up properly.

 

On what setting should this be adjusted for maximun performance of the item? What setting, for better results overall?

 

14 is softest - 10 is hardest - being NA I went with 11mm and it is working wonders

 

And in F/I is 10 the best setting in you opinion?

 

Yes - you are generating more torque and that will be most effective.

 

Thanks

 

NE Time - I'm gonna tighten mine up after I port/polish and s/c

 

good luck on that. :D

 

what tool is needed? I just got mine and want to adjust it. In the instructions it says to consult the ingalls website but i couldn't find anything there mentioning any tools

 

Sweet thread. Def going to get one.

But do you guys feel the front strut bars are more show? I been hearing on fwd cars, they dont do much.

 

I went with 11 also, I think it's perfect.. No vibrations at idle or in first gear and absolutely no wheel hop.

 

I adjusted it with an open-end wrench.. Be careful not to scratch it, it's very easy to do. If you do scratch it just face that side down so it's not visable when you open the hood, no biggie.

 

cool thanks, that's what i figured but hearign it from someone who has already done it makes me more comfortable with it.

 

i Read in sport compact car that the Stiffy is nice, but it adds a LOT of engine noise/vibrations to the cabin... Is this TRUE??

the article says that it may not even be worth it for a DD street car.
