When I decided to take the Roe/twin screw off my car, I thought that it would no longer be an excellent autocross car. Something I was going to miss but I hadn't autocrossed in several years so I would just have to get over it. In my car with the Roe, I expected to be FTD (fastest time of the day) at any autocross or else I figured the driver didn't do his job Saturday I went to the local SCCA event and to my surprise it did very well. I had a learning curve since I hadn't autocrossed in three years but it came back somewhat and the car even with the turbos did quite well... at least on this course. It was medium size and even since I had went from 3.55 gears to 3.07's it was bumping the rev limiter so I moved the limiter down to 5800 and stayed in first and against the limiter if need be. I wish I had tried second gear one time to see how it reacted...any boost lag etc but I was working on driver skills first. I had moved the boost as low as it would go (7psi or so) and also pulled some timing to try and kill power/tire spin. I had the Hero camera on the car....it just doesn't give anywhere near the rush when you are in the car...heck it looks boring on the video Quite a bit of the time it's a little sideways but doesn't really show except by watching the front tire. I ended up FTD except for a larger open wheeled go-cart....I'm one happy camper....I still have an autocross car !!!
