It allows you to select a boost level for each gear. Say, if you know the car will blow the tires away in 3rd at 1500 hp, you can dial it back to 1300 in third, then have 1500 in 4th, 1750 in 5th, 1932 in 6th...

Anybody know what tires these insane cars are running?

Anything over 900WHP is just crazy.

Ha! So that's where the magic comes in!

i am curious why the Motec traction control is not used... I would assume that it can adapt even better than boost by gear...

I think it uses the abs sensors or new sensors and adjusts variables like timing, boost, etc to have maximum traction at all times. This is F1 technology which Motec has...

Also they should setup this pit limiter like the AMS Alpha Omega... Instead of trying to boost brake which is quite difficult in my opinion, hold the car with electronics at a steady speed and when releasing the button to slingshot the car!

Maybe John Reed can chime in.

^ from the sound of it I don't think they do...

But the tuner is the most appropriate person to answer, or one of the owners.

Toyo R888's, oversized tyres, AWD, less boost in launching gears, clever stuff!

Are you saying there's nothing can be done for a Balboni or recent LP 550-2 to put the power down in case one opted for your kit?

It has been done already, check YouTube for a video of an LP1000-2

Thank you

This brings me to the original question of this thread, how can this power be put down without 4WD?

One of the reasons that I'm asking is that I'm considering a 2012 LP 550-2 and I'm worried it will be just noise and wheel spin. Another reason is that my TPC Porsche fails to put the 620HP down... Much goes in wheel spin especially in low gears.

Good luck with your decision, I would love to be able to purchase a Lamborghini during sometime of my life. Underground Racing uses a sophisticated ecu program called Boost by gear, this allows certain amounts of power available at the wheels in each gear, this allows the maximum amount of power without any traction loss. You will not be disappointed with UGR's work, and a LP550-2 with 1xxx hp would not be a problem.

Get an AWD 911 with the right tires and it'll hook all day long.

How long before we see you pick up an AWD Lamborghini to your garage?
