Gonna be entering ifo in october getting car ready, IMPORT FACEOFF Options

[mk7celica]

I think my car is fixed. After having hickups and power losse I thought it was ignition,fuel delivery or my wastegate flapper getting stuck on the ebay dp.
Well After tearing down the dp setup changing fuel filter and ignition components, I noticed a vacum cap off my wastegate acuator And capping it off The car is running fine as of todays ride around town. So I hope its fixed.

So I entered ifo { import face off} in march and ram 14.1 in the 1/4 mile. At the time I had crappy ebay coil overs on the rar of the car and spring tech lowering springs on the back. I know it sounds stupid but I was in the middle of putting the springs on all around then realized I need new struts. I did not want to puul no more parts odd till I got new struts and put the springs and struts on all around. So with the coil overs on the rear an springs on the front the car sat up in the front an when I took off it squated and compressed the coil overs on the rear which made the front ride way up in the air which lead to whell hop. It was a total bad crappy stupid setup to run, but I did at the last minute anyway cause I wanted to see what the car ran with the swap. So now ifo is coming up in october and I want to better my 14.2. I am decideing between kyb struts or billstien struts. Which is better the billstien are 100 dollars more but I think there worth it. Whats everyones opinion on this?



Second question is about race gas. Its very expensive but Everyone tells me to run it at the track. What are some advantages with race gas besides the octane. Does it protect your engine compared running 93 octane? How mch more power will a car make with race gas compared to 93 octane gas?


3rd question is about tire choices. I have 17's on the car now with 225/40/17 and the rims are heavy. I have the stock 15's with new tires on them but there 6 years old just been sitting so I have to decide on getting drag radials for the 15's or 17's. Which will better my times?
