Wow so freaking close to 9s. but wouldn't you get kicked and have to get a medical and full cage and all that stuff?
Maybe better this way. Man you should have took a leak before the race. that would have likely put you in the nines!
Best mph so far though right? and Best et so far. Now whats this about 4350.Thought you said it weighed just under 4000 last time and assume that was raceweight with you in the car?

What 60fts this time around?

Try the Forge Actuators. I have them on my C6 and am getting 14 psi with room to grow....16-18 psi on the next spring swap.

the key is to remove your bowling ball collection from the trunk BEFORE you go to the track

Umm it weighed like 3850 in his last trip to track so can't possibly see how it got that much heavier since then. I think he is kidding!

So later on today Ill head to the track and try once again for a single digit pass Boost ducts looked fine and 12.5. Just wish I had changed the waste gate springs before I installed it But if APS sells the upgrade Ill bite the bullet and upgrade. Hope everyone that bought kits is getting alot closer. Would like to see a few more track times posted. Time for bed fewwwwwwwwww
Gut that fat race car!

Full tank of gas + Iron block + A very fat you + additional engine parts + cage??? + full interior?

I hear ya about pushing the turbos... I'm curious as to how far you're able to push them too... Is your next step upgrading the turbos like APS is about to release?

My car has everything. Nothing is missing. Maybe the scale is wrong. I might be taking it apart very soon if Peter answers my PM!

I'm pretty much going to do a setup very similar to yours (hopefully within the next year). Hopefully big cubes + that upgraded APS kit... I'd stick with a beefed up 6-speed though. Not sure how smart that is though.

P.S. I post on TRS with you.
