im gona have to balanceboth damn cars this summer with track outings
boost is pretty quick but when u are on full boil, why let it drop from 24lb to 10? even if it is for .3 seconds, itsenough to lose a race.
car was made to NLS but not to brake boost. not worth it in my opinion.

For the car to be made to do it, NLS is much harder on the drivetrain than brake boosting. SRT-4's were also "made to do it", and they are notorious for tranny problems.

So you don't want to let the boost drop a little between shifts, but you'll start the race in full vacuum?

I think brake boosting depends on the car. For 335i/335xi's brake boosting actually causes the car to bog more. I've tried it and in theory it should allow you to build boost but it doesn't for those particular cars. Not sure if the computer is interfering or not, but others have tried and have the same experience. At the same time, the turbo's spool in the 335i's so quickly compared to a single large turbo on a 4 cylinder.

Dodge in general is known for transmission problems.

im not worried about a chevy trans in a car makin 280hp.
not a whole lot of tranny issues on these so far.
and i didnt know srt had the algorythm nls program. i thought it was jut guys banging gears where i have .25 seconds to nail it while the car holds revs.

We have the same thing available on the Evo's now.
That might explain the bogging. I read of the same problems with the Genesis Coupe, which also has a DBW throttle body.
Huge difference.
