Default Track times with the EWP at Atco

Well, I finally got my TA to the track, we were rained out yesterday and the track conditions were not all that great today. I don't know what the DA was but the starting line wasn't all that great and according to the track officials we were running into a 22 - 25 MPH head wind.(ask LT1 LS1 Mark) In a -2,100 DA, the best my TA ever went was a 12.97 or 8 @ 108.67, with todays conditions the best I ran was 12.86 at 111.07, over 111 was the constant MPH for the day regaurdless of the 60' mark, for me, re-learning how to get a stock clutch and gear car off the line was challenging to say the least with 60' marks in the 2.10 range either slipping the clutch or smoking the tires. The last time I was at Atco in a crappy DA, the best I was able to pull with the car was 13.30 @ 108.24. Well, to sum it up, I went from an average of 85 MPH half track to 87.54 and from 108.67 to 111.07. So on average, it would be safe to say 2.2 MPH and 2.2 tenths improvement. I was going to pull the "street belt" and go to the "race belt" that is a little shorter but dose not by-pass the powersteering (I had the PS bypass belt one with me too) to see if it would break into the 112 range but we ran out of time. This TA has only 3 mods done to it, Lid, filter, EWP. And the EGR pipe is cut short, but essentially stock.

I am going to track test mine soon, but I didn't get much on the dyno with it. ;(

Very cool Joe, you were running some nice numbers for sure considering the track and air conditions yesterday. I was running almost 1 mph off my best there due to that head wind.
