I'm sure you've got your racing skills in check but I gotta ask.....your VSA was off and were you letting off a tad and re applying when it started slipping or just floor and go?? I was hoping to see some stupid fast times :-D

Just listen to the wastegate, every time you hear it; I'm letting off the gas due to traction. This car is not a true AWD car. It's FWD with a LITTLE help from the rear. Man, I would love to line up with some of you on the streets though.

I wonder what would be required to get a little more assistance in the rear. I know you've gone with a lighter shaft. But maybe a simple way of tricking the computer by offsetting a parameter so it would give say 10-20% more power to the rear.
Of course this would require a lot of trial and error. It's not like the transfer case was built to handle a lot of power going rearward. And then there is the case with one rear diff mount instead of two.

This was my single biggest gripe with the RDX AWD system, actually Acura's SH-AWD in general. It has the capability of sending 70% to the rear but only on corners (or in the case of the MDX/RL up a hill as well). Why not take it a step further to be able to do that in a straight line like audi's can? Or to have a 70/30 r/f power distrubution in sport mode.
IMHO it would help immensely with reducing or eliminating the weird weight transfer that occurs when SH-AWD switches between sending power to the front and transfering to the rear.
fair enough. sorry would help if I wore headphones when watching vids :-D. I think there must be a sweet spot for hp on the rdx judging by peoples posted times and stuff, it doesn't like to go to high or too low gotta dial in the magic. I wonder if slicks up front and skinnier tires in the rear would work. I know you got some wide drag radials all around I wonder if its griping too much in the rear and getting all josled up when its trying to switch power around. youd prob wreck all of us in any heads up on the street though for sure ha ha it would not be too fun for you to roflstomp us. ;-)
Hey just wanna see what your best time at the track was. I did hold the world record for about 3 years but i did sell the car a few weeks ago and picked up an audi q5 3.0t and this thing rips. Glad to see you are still working on this platform! By the way i tried this website out and it worked for me you guys should check it out. Here is the link http://www.boost4mods.com/1519
