good job, but honestly, shouldn't it be faster?

time for some slicks, best I could hit on my ls/vtec was 13.1 on street tires.

traction is an issue for all turbo car's. good job on 13's though. 12's on some fatty slicks. good luck on that one. and bump up the boost

yes, it is deffinately faster! dont feel i was pushin its hardest cuz i didnt bring a helmet and its deff a 13 second setup. with a little more prep, more runs i could have deff gone faster (and if my charge pipes didnt suck ***). all i really wanted was some validation that my efforts werent for nothing.

i would like to break 12's on streets, thats the plan. next time i go down i would like to bring some ---- to cool my intake manifold and intercooler between runs. i also didnt get to ---- with tire pressures, they where the same that i have been rollin for weeks, i checked them after i ran.

traction? off the line i was deff being a ----- and was doing a street style launch (ie 3000ish) and then laying into it, was hoping that would reduce wheelspin... got 2.2's? better than last time... spun top of second, and little of 3rd if i remember right...

if you get that boost leak under control hopefully you'll get some better times. stephan, the guy you borrowed the helmet from, had hella traction problems, if you can figure out where to hold the gas pedal in your gears with traction problems you will own. and I know because I've never raced my car at a track in my life and I'm talking out of my ***.
