In liew of ScottySI's comment, I went in this gear ration 1-2-3fail-3fail-3fuck it-4th
Here are some picturesvwhen I got there


AND FOR DMC1 LOL sorry she is too conservative

AND MY 13.77 run because I could not get the ----- into 3rd

My Best only run that was good to show off which was the second run, my goal was to run 12's either high or low considering that I drove there and also was on Autocross slicks.

---- I just noticed that the tires pressure was off 8psi. 8psi greater on the driver side and near flat on passenger side. Wonder why the **** was pulling so hard to the right.

Those slicks look REALLY small.... LIke not even 24.5" (could be the angle) The stiffer autox sidewalls arfent helping AT ALL either....

Youll drop 60s alot by running the smallest rims your brakes will allow... as long as you dont have typeR/Prelude/NSX calipers and 11.2" rotors, theres no reason not to run somew 13" wheels . The difference in traction will amaze you.

ALsoi I just noticed: YOIur cold side is wrapped... Thats not eactly helping your heat soak.... It actually TRAPS heat IN the pipe, It doesnt do much to insulate it from ambienbt under hood temps.....


How bad does the manifold creep with that WG setup?? At least a few PSI up top right or no.....

IM glad you chimed in african american Car ran for at least 15minutes idel in the staging lanes because some croth rocket blew it's ---- up. This motor being that we had tuning issues last time is a ---- to start after heated up, so yeah heat soak is a major issue. 13in rims are the smallest I can fit and I'mrunning 23in tires AUTOCROSS SLICKS. Like I said I'm happy just to be able to run it at this show last three years I have met major malfuntion. This year I DROVE IT, RACED IT, DROVE HOME, and still no issues. I CALL IT A SUCCESS you may call it a failure because I didnt break the 11 second barrier at a conservative igntion/psi level

Look at his mph. He is making no more than 300whp. In other words, as suspected, widebody=fail.
