Default Cecil sept. 1
Anybody heading down wed. night? I'm probably going down to get used to this car and maybe try a few transbrake launches Need to get a decent 60' and see what low boost can do.

Are you still going since they are calling for 95 degree heat?

I might ride down since I am back in Pa for a few days. I have to go back to Va on Thursday. My poor truck is getting a workout.

Here is the last 1/8th mile pass 6.43@109. This one would have been in the 9's for sure. After looking at the logs your converter does seem to be a bit on the tight side.

I agree but we need your help to get him out of the hole a little better. 1.56 60' times just aren't going to cut it. His turbos are pretty laggy. They don't hit full boost until the top of first gear so we need to work on that too. I'm wondering if smaller exhaust housings would help him?
