Default Gonna run tonight...

I'm gonna give my dying posi one more shot. The DA for tonight is stupid low, in the negatives, so I'll see if she'll give me one last outing.

Wish me luck.

Went 11.14 on my first pass, a new best, but on my second pass the posi gave up the ghost again.

I have a top end miss only at the top of 3rd and it's just not letting me get anymore umph before the trap.

I need to stop slacking and get it on the dyno to see if it's the tune or what.

I gots me some work to do.

I did take that dump tho lol

Comparing old runs it may seem that miss is getting worse or something is up.

Previous best was:

60' 1.556
1/8: 7.110 @ 96.05
1/4: 11.188 @ 120.33

Today was:

60' 1.542
1/8: 7.081 @ 96.39
1/4: 11.144 @ 120.06

Look at the 1/8 differences, and you can see I should have done better in the 1/4 trap tonight than last time out.

Tonight when I hit the random "miss" it's like the car fell flat on it's face then picked back up. I don't think it's a rev limiter issue b/c I really don't think I'm at that high of an RPM before the trap.

I'm almost into the 6's for 1/8 tho, which is sweet.

looks like a 11.00 shouldn't be a problem when you fix the miss

who tuned your car?

Car is still on a mail order tune from pcmforless believe it or not.

I've just been bad about getting it on a dyno.. all i do is run run run.

Bad me.

Sucks, b/c 11.0 would have happened tonight based on that 1/8.

dang, 120mph traps with a auto/9" LE car with a mail order tune? must be nice

you should see if you could get a tune with jeremy formato if you decide to get a dyno tune, he's not THAT far from you and one of the best for LTx/LSx
