Devilish34 having some fun Took the car to the track to test the new tranny tune. It was 77 degrees and
the DA was at 1856. I wasn't expecting any records with those readings and a rookie driver.... LMAO
I brought my camera and let John [Devilish34] run my car a few times so I could take a few photos. He ran a 12.18 in the heat. Then ran a slippery 12.22 and 12.23 . Like I said no records but the tranny is shifting and not hitting the rev limiter. The 275/45R17 DRs will now spin very easily at the line. I blame this on the 3.27 diff. Need bigger DRs for better times and some cooler weather.
The track was empty.....We could have ran 30 times.

When I was there a couple of weeks ago I ran a 12.10 bouncing off the limiter and just wanted to test before it got cool again. I know I lost 3 to 4 tenths on that run.
Strange this was the car didn't bounce off the limiter on the street. Only at the track. I guess it was the slightly shorter DRs that caused it.
