After a little tuning, Wu got an 11.8. I got a 12.1 on my second run, but called it quits after that.

I've got some pics and vids to post up after I've tweaked them a bit.

Traction must have sucked there. I would have thought you guys would have had some times a little faster that. Scott, didn't you run faster at Milan?

Track prep was pretty good, they sprayed it regularly. The track itself sucks. It's not smooth - it's full of bumps and dips. You can actually see the back ends of the cars bouncing up and down on the way down the track. And the right hand lane actually had a 'pothole' at the halfway mark.

Anyways.........Any descent times being run? You guys didn't miss much at the CEMA show. Not a very big turn out this year.

Straight up?!!

Well, back in good ole Flint. I was on the road at 9:30 and got back home at 1:45.

If I had to do it over again, I probably would have gone to CEMA instead.

How about a list of times?

See post #60. Wu and I are the only 2 on this forum that ran. I haven't seen any thread about times on SRTForums for everyone else.

BTW, I have a 1/4 tank of high octane I need to burn through. Anyone else want to go to Milan Friday?

justruner · 06-15-2009, 06:02 PM

How about some mph numbers?

I trapped 119 with the 11.8. It took Ryan and I about 9 runs to dial in all the new parts. 2 step was set to high but after some messing around we managed back to back 1.7 and 1.8 60'. Then the WOT box was cutting to much on the shift's which lead to boost being lost. At one point boost dropped to 9psi between shifts. We managed to bump it up to 19 psi in between shifts. I also had major boost leaks on the car. I ran out of time prepping the car so I'm kinda kicking myself now. Finally clutch slipped to much to hold the hp. We had to adjust the pedal to stop it from rolling through the beams.

New clutch and leak test and she should do better. I let Dink down by not producing a 11.7 run, so I owe him one.
