I'm in, though I'll be on street tires (skinny 255's), and my posi doesn't work all that well either, still low boost... recipe for slow yet again! Maybe with it tuned better than last time it'll run 12's at least, I've made 4 passes with this setup total, and all of them were complete crap in every aspect.
And on my tuning adventure, called English and they don't have any of the stuff to tune my V6, called Wong again and he finally answered the phone. Chatted for a while, scheduled a tune for his next opening which is August 29th. Too far away I think time wise, but I'll wait I guess. PSI sounds like a bad idea listening to you guys, guess I'll pass on them.

Count me out, the v6 lost oil pressure and started knocking last night at PIR, never got a good pass out of it before it did. Every run had a crappy launch, or I missed a shift, tune was pretty good and it was running about 110mph on 11lbs of boost a couple runs. Can't a guy catch a break?

I took mine out for it's maiden voyage last night! Had a number of little issues with it, nothing too terrible, but never the less, they were issues.
A) it was shifting at 4800-4900 rpm in drive (tried manually shifting it and that didn't work all that hot
B) it started to ping about 3900+ rpm and I could feel it loosing power the higher up the rpms went as it was pulling timing out
C) it was spinning the DR's baaaad. Not all that impressed with the nitto 275/50/15's..
But i made 3 passes and the best being 12.53 @ 111 with a 1.899 best 60'
So all I have some tuning and tweaking to do before next week thats for sure! But I don't feel like that was too terrible for the first time out, and for a $3000 car with a baby *** cam! But just taking the car on a couple good freeway drives and and getting it opened up a bit it seems to run alot better!

. Wouldn't shifting up around 6k be better? I only ask because I don't know. With my old LT1 auto, running a hotcam I was shifting at 6200 and that's a little cam also.
