I couldn't get any traction in 2nd in my car..... Here's a vid, you can hear me let off in 2nd because of sideways action. However, I'm still on the stock run flats!

Yup he took it. Only tryed the bottle once, needs colder plugs, and a little timing pulled. Car was making some odd sounds. but he had alot of fun, and my car didnt break

Yeah, I took the TA. I tried to get ahold of you Phil, must have missed you.

I need to do some tuning on bottle, seemed like it was surging and I didn't log the run on the WB like a dumbass, so I'm guessing. I'm gonna swap plugs and try and run it out here on the road while data logging, see whats up.

Not sure on SCC, you going? If so and you wanna take a stab at this I might make the trip.

Car went 11.03 on motor, hoping a 150 shot will be all thats needed to go 9.x. Oh, and the trans is acting up. Gotta find time to mess with it this week.....

I tried asking around, but no one answered. What does the fast & furious day mean.
Is it foreign crap only. Do they slide around the pit's like ballet on wheels.
Do you have to have naws on the car to run. Thanks guys.
