I hit Test & Tune this weekend. Just got home. The place was packed. Took over 5 hours to get everyone 4 runs. I hit my personnal best times this week on Wednesday night. Then this Saturday I beat them [burnout]

60FT: 1.90
ET: 12.30
MPH: 113.91

I launched at 4K and still bogged. The track was hooking very well today. Them Nitto's wanted more, but ran out of track time [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

As yuo can see I AM STOKED [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

Cool combo. Sounds similar to TRY2PAZ's old 99 GT vert.

Yep, He has the mark that I'm shooting for. The car bogged when I launched, but with some more practice I should be in the 11's. It's only my second time at the track with this combo [Big Grin]

that's pretty impressive, especially on nittos. i myself didnt run so great... 13.79 was my best, but i did manage to trap 104 twice. i need to relearn how to launch then head back up. i think my car likes the front swaybar on

Hehe that makes more sense, i was just trying to put it in a better way. 1.9 60's not too bad though, but with 1.7's you would probably be sailin.....what was your reaction?

I was pretty amazed my car performed pretty well today too. Better than I expected anyways, I'm thinking now a motor 11 is just a few clean powershifts away...

60' 1.699
1/8 7.736 @ 89.284
1/4 12.125 @ 112.925

what a PITA, my first run was at 1:40 PM. Got there at 10:30 AM [Mad]
