I have a very loose definition of a DD lol. My a/c already doesn't work and it's being deleted anyways (And I live in FL most of the time lol), my abs doesn't work and is also being deleted.
I'm sure I'll do some weight reduction eventually but I still want the car to be comfortable somewhat.
I'm sure even with how my car is now, many people would not want to DD it.. no a/c cc306 with M6 with 2.73s = surge like a mofo in 1st and second gear under 2500 rpms, rich as all hell tune = 10mpg city lol... I'm sure others have worse but lets say the car isn't easy to DD.
I personally just don't care, I love the car and regardless if I have the money for a new one I would not sell this one unless something tragic in my family happened and I absolutely needed the money to help out.
The point is that you can drive it around town wherever you wanna go without worrying if you have enough 105+ octane or if the exhaust is gonna get you in trouble. Make it reliable and drive it to work every once in a while. Take it to a cruise. Thats what I think of when I think daily driver. Know what I mean Vern?
Oh for sure... Idk how it's going to do at 17psi on 93 because the compression is higher than I wanted (I opted for felpro 1074s which are only .039" as opposed to some of the other HG's I was looking at that were .059-.072") effectively leaving me with about a 9.1:1 ratio.
When I go to aftermarket casting heads I will be able to get it down to the 8.0-8.5:1 area which I should be able to run 93 alllll day on whatever boost level I have it at.
As for the exhaust... uhm lol that might still get me in trouble... once again my loose definition of DD lol
im gunan try takin mine to work when its done haha. when you planning to have the build done?
Well maybe by the end of march if money works out, if it doesn't it will be done in august/september with some better goodies
