ya i talked to your brother briefly. what kind of times were you guys running? i could use a lot or practice for sure but i was pretty consistent with the times i listed through 4 passes. anyone willing to take a look at my tune/datalogs?

The track in kelowna isnt a terribly fast track. Even the more race prepped cars were closer to the high 6 low 7 mark. The track isnt great for traction and even people on decent slicks were having a hard time launching.

Edit: That was my first time ever at a track/taking the car from a light. My first run reaction time was 1.8 seconds. I know right? I was nervous. The car is boosted on a stock block too so i was worried about ripping it. I rolled out of the hole, no burn out, and shifted at 4.5k rpm every time and ran a 10.65 @ 70. ( I know im going to get hated on hard for those times, but either way i just just going for experiance)
My brothers times were better, but with as much power as hes making on stock sized tires they were not good at all.
I think your car ran like hell traction aside.
