Haha thats true! However some of the exotics I'm sure stay away from the beyond meets.. If I was a ferrari owner the last thing I would want is to have some 16 year old kid in a turbo civic pull a ricer fly by thinking his hot shit and swerve into the side of my ride...

But seriously It's not that bad.

If your car doesn't drive straight, steering wheel isn't pointing straight, or if there is a vibration (could also be balancing).

thanks Reggie and it was nice meeting you and your car last week keep us posted on what AE's you put in. I'm just in the market for replacement tires and wanted to check with you guys first because last thing I want is bad wear on new tires. My car seems to drive straight and have no issues and I can't be 100% sure and didn't want to get charged an alignment if my car doesn't need one. But after doing a bit of searching it looks like best time to do an alignment is when you get new tires and good practice after a couple years just as a sanity check.

Calling JB4 users in Calgary .. I've just installed mine, and well, it's not really as great as I thought it would be.

It's certainly a little quicker, but doesn't feel night and day like many people say.

Does our altitude effect the performance gains of the JB4? I didn't think we were high enough up for that. It feels especially anemic under 3,000 rpm, and has noticeable turbo lag.

Initially I tried map 1, on Husky 94 .. I then did some logging on map 5, which apparently looks good according to BMS.. and now on advice, I'm running on Map 6 with added boost down low.

I put some V-power 91 in this morning, and it feels almost as slow as stock. I had to check that I wasn't on map 0!

I read people post things like 'wow', 'omg', 'JB4 super fast', 'wheels spinning in 3rd' etc .. but I honestly don't feel like I can say any of that.

My car is tune-only + BMS drop-in.

Am I expecting too much? Do you think I should get it dyno'd? Where to go in Calgary for that? LOL questions galore!

I don't know much about the JB4 but I have the Dinan 2 (auto) and there was a huge difference after having it. What I noticed right away was the low end take off was delayed so after driving the stock 335 and going to Dinan 2 I miss the stock low end response. From stop you gas its like huge lag and first gear almost doesn't move instead switches right to 2nd gear with a minor lag then when it spools your neck does snap into the head rest like OMFG. The only negative I had was the low end pep it just screams with stock vs the Dinan 2 and once I get going it doesn't take long to shoot up to 120km/hr. All in all I think its worth the money for the fun because most of the times I'm just cruising around and just knowing that I have power to pass at any second is pretty nice.

I believe Reggie was putting a cruise up this weekend and I just found out I won't be here to join you guys if not hopefully we'll have another meet in the summer.

Lag is certainly a lot more noticeable now!

But I've not really observed any neck-snapping with the JB4 yet, in any gear, at any speed. I'm going to play around a little more with the low rpm boost settings on Map 6.

But if it doesn't get to a point where I'm at least 95% happy, I may try the Cobb tune instead.

Ya something doesn't sound right if you don't get a snap feel when it spools up and roars. What boost are you running? From what I heard Cobb tune is pretty sweet. Lag in low end is a given if you want more power from what I heard so we have to deal with that worst case go back to stock I still think its fun. Oh and with Dinan 2 you will feel a bit of a burn out in 3rd but I keep my traction on so its safe :P
