I had a VERY good discussion with EFI Logics yesterday as we begin to consider next season. There is a surprising amount to do and, while I presumed I would have a sleepy off season, I’ll be scrambling to get everything in order for the first event. Chris and I had a long discussion about this past season, and what the car needed to remain competitive (not including the obvious, that my driving needs to continue to evolve!).

The primary focus for the car is on ensuring the engine remains bullet proof and competitive, and it is clear EFI Logics is wholly committed to making sure the power output is balanced with engine longevity. This spring will bring a variety of fresh tunes for different tracks and environments and we are looking at some important go fast bits that will support power to come on a bit earlier and more consistently throughout the entire rpm range. The result should give me more flexibility in gear selection and more headroom, while keeping me within the TTS limits. I’ll post up on these details, some of the parts and solutions we’re considering, but for now they are a secret.

There’s no replacement for experience, and despite my having studied up on some of these topics prior to our discussion, it was clear after about 10 minutes these guy’s are operating WELL beyond my knowledge limits. They are dealing with race and very high performance cars all day, every day and it really shows, as Chris was quite sage and pragmatic in his guidance, which is exactly what I need. You can have your hyperbole and gratuitous statements on how great one’s shop or tune is, but give me Chris’ frank advice, steeped in real world racing and on the road experience any day. EFI Logics has some big plans as well and are doing some very cool work with tuning, prep and fabrication. Their set up is very impressive, and if you haven’t checked them out, you’re missing out. Needless to say, I’m really excited about EFI Logics getting the car organized for next season, it’s going to be something.
