Default X-Post: Is power limited in first gear?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/44443/2000_s4_qtr_mile_run_adj.jpg"></center><p>Looks like not as much HP available in first gear. Expect drop-off in HP from Aero drag and rolling friction for third and 4th gear. Is power limited by ECU or is there some other reason.

Thanks.

Bruce

Default Some tuners run less boost in 1st gear
and there is less load during first gear so you might see a drop less power.

power is a function of the load on the engine. less load on engine equates to less power generated.
