got a chance to make a few runs at the local drag strip today. was actually up all night last night trying to get a new tuner to work. finally got it figured out, then decided i should really get some plugs with a closer gap installed, so around 3:30 am this morning me and my buddy were out installing spark plugs. some guy in a cobaltss rolled up and chilled with us for a bit, then we went out for some 6 am tuning, got my a/f ratio around 11.5-11.6 instead of high tens.
anyway, finally got to the track this morning, tossed on my mickey thompson drag slicks, opened up my cutout and was good to go. i ran 93 octane all day, starting out on around 14-15 psi.
first run ever on turbo got me a 12.2 @ 118. 2.2 60', so i was pretty confident there was more in it. only problem was my brakes didn't hold well enough to build boost, so i couldn't really do a whole lot better all day.
2nd run was a 12.1 @118 as well, this run i had a high 2.1 60'.
3rd run, let the car cool down for a while, got a high 2.0 60', and ran an 11.98 @ 119. 1st pass ever in the 11s for me [&:]
4th run i got greedy and gave a small turn on the boost controller.
2.11 60'
7.90 @99.09 1/8
11.97 @ 121.31 1/4

heres a couple video links of a few of the runs,
1st run is a decent burnout vid of my car and my buddy's bolt-on regal, he ran consistent 13.6s @ 100.

next video is another burnout vid,

final vid is my best pass of the day, kind of a different camera view but at least got a decent shot of the time on the board.
