Back from E-Town
Back from E-Town Met up with Barry (QTP) and Kyle (another Vette) at the test & tune tonight.
First run (lined up with Barry) and I spun badly but still ran a 13.90 @ 102.9 mph with a sucky 2.17 60'. I'm happy that I shaved off 1.5 tenths and added 3.9 mph. Second run was almost the exact.. except I rolled out & bogged.
Things I learned..
My car likes copper TR55's much more than IT20 Iridium Plugs, and the tune is much better up top. Still can't launch because I can't heat the Nitto's (no line lock) and I have no shift light. Even so, I'm sure that there are 4-5 tenths left on the table- sway bar still in, Eibach lowering springs, and regular shocks/stock suspension.
I have to get a short-runner intake, because it falls flat on it's face at 6.5k-7.0k rpms.. should still make power.
I wish E-Town had Wed for Domestic cars, and Fri for Motorcycles, Imports, etc.. because I would go more often.

Plus- no shift light makes me short shift in fear of hitting the limiter.
It was great fun, hanging out in the Pits, etc.
