I've had my front (didn't have time to do rears) R1 rotors and hawk hps pads installed for exactly a week now. I've only been normal driving so I cannot tell much of a difference. I need to take a new datalog for Vince once I change up my supercharger set up this Sunday, so I should have some time to test brakes.

No they didn't.

Will do! Might be awhile though the weather hasn't been great and it doesn't look like it is going to change for awhile.

Hope your car is going good! Got the supercharger kinks worked out?

I thought they came painted and after you hit the brakes a few times, the paint came off but was still protected against rust?

I think I'll look over the 900+ previous posts and get an idea what goes on here...

Hey guys, quick question:

I just bought a set of BBK headers and the Trifecta tune. Unfortunately, the search feature of this site (yes, I actually used it) says "93" is too short to be included in the search...

So, oh yeah, my question: For the Trifecta tune, are ya'll running 93 octane or just using 87? I'll be taking a long trip pretty soon, so it'll be a good time to flush out the lower grade fuel if need be...

I run 93 when I go to the track. Otherwise, I never noticed any improvements or changes (other than dirtier-than-normal tail pipes) when I ran it on the street. But with the tune, that could change.

With the tune, correct me if I am wrong, but the car seems to run a little more rich than stock.
