Where is the Aftermarket
Just in case anyone is wondering why I have been posting lately and not letting the aftermarket go is because I truly believe with JUST an intake, exhaust, lightweight wheels/tires, lightweight pulley, aftermarket cams and tuning that the new Fit is capable of running high 14 second 1/4 mile times.
I'm dead set on this goal as my original goal was one lucky high 15 second 1/4 mile run. I'm positive with the above modifications done right, the Fit will run neck and neck if not faster than a stock Honda Civic Si, Acura ITR, Fiesta/Ford ST, Cooper Mini and/or Fiat Abarth 500. And be just as or more reliable (Then the Ford/Abarth) with great fuel economy. As the car sits, the 1/4 mile calculators are telling me I need to lose another 200lbs, make another 12hp or something in between to reach a 14.9. It's gonna happen damn it.
My apologies for reaching for the stars. It's gonna happen. Just need the vendors to come around or some thinking out of the box and work with what we have some kind of way.
And...I'm not knocking Ktuner in NOWAY. I as jumping right on any update/file I received but I am blaming myself for not testing the latest update...just yet. I have to get a new Evolution battery to fit my Myxal SRI-CAI intake back on so I can resume testing. This will be done though.

I took a break! Wasn't able to figure out what approach to take. To reach 14s, I need to be able to do one or more of these things...
1) I needed to make 7 more whp,
2) I needed to loose about 100lbs,
3) Or some combo of these (Ex: Gain 3.5whp and lose 50lbs).
My 60ft times didn't seem like they were going to improve from where they where at, which were already good for street tires...and auto...and CVT. So I was stuck! I'm pretty tapped out on the intake and exhaust side of things. I could remove my front seat but other than that, no more real world weight savings. This is still a family car.
That's where I left it at.
