Good night at the track!

I ran 13.18 tonight at 103 MPH (5EAT, UP, turboback, TMIC, AVO intake and PDX E-tune @43 degrees).
I believe that putting on 4 lbs lighter wheels definately picked up a little time and I finally learned to use the Sport-shift in the 1320.

Thanks for all the advice everyone, I have exceeded my expectations. next year...time for a turbo upgrade. I must break into the 12's....did someone say modding was addictive?

Same track as before?

Yep, but quite colder and a new tune from PDX that is meant to be more aggressive.

I think the other wheels were hurting my trap speed in 2ways : heavier and wider. The wider rim pulls out the narrow stock tire and makes it shorter.

Congrats, I know for a while you were worried that something was wrong with your car.

Good time, congratulations.

**C_randyjones** · #6: 11-16-2007, 09:02 PM

Thanks.
Yeh I really thought there was something wrong. But it was just: bad driving, non-optimal tune, heavy wheels, high temps.....nothing really.
I still think there is slightly more left that could be tuned out of her if i could get the car to PDX because I still pull a little timing at the high end of 3rd gear, but it is only slight. Overall i am very pleased.

I wish I could see 43 degree temps out here....
Congrats!

**C_randyjones** · #8: 11-16-2007, 09:11 PM

Yeah the cold temp makes a HUGE difference, probably around 0.5 seconds compared to 84 degrees.

Yes, I mean I used the tiptronic.
I launched at around 2800 RPM, It was on pump gas and nearly empty tank but my 40 lbs hitch was on.
My 60 foot time was 1.836, 1/8 time was 8.4 @ 81.3, reaction time........................................0.762! Good thing it was not a real race.
