Default FIPK track times?

Anyone get to the track with the FIPK and better yet anyone run Lid and then FIPK in the same day? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Chris

I have seen an awful lot of dyno numbers and no track times. What gives?

I installed mine tonight, and I'm going to track-test them back-to-back tomorrow. Both will be run with the FRA mod. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Somebody has to do it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm going to have to try it again on a test n tune day because the brackets didn't allow for any conclusive data. They've cut our # of time trials to only two, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> and after my 2nd time trial it was over 4 hours before I could make another pass due to an oil down. By this time, the sun had gone down, humidity was up, etc. Too many variables had changed. SO, I'm going to attempt to make it to this coming Friday night's TnT. I'll have to find out if they're expecting it to be packed or not. If they are, then it will be another useless attempt because it will be an easy two hours between runs. If all else fails, I might have to try it out at an 1/8-mile track since one of them are open during the week. Then I'll be able to make however many passes I want. If it shows a decent gain in the 1/8, you can imagine how well it will fare in the 1/4. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Either way, I hope to have some solid results in the next 10 days.
