Review my night at the track.

I ran a 12.65 at 115mph with a 2.20 60' time. I was seeing 12psi of boost on 100 octane unleaded fuel. I was also running my normal street tires with excess tire spin. I have my ignition timing pretty concervative right now. Is there anything you can observe from my run? Is this a good time for street tires?

ya your 60 ft times suck really bad. Get some mickey thompson slicks. you could get a better launch with those street tires.

What type of clutch and diff are you running? What tires? I'm hoping you're at least using Nitto's.

brian, that actually sounds like a 11 sec run with some good tires, try again, maybe you cvan borrow joshs slicks the run sounds good to me given the traction.

Yea im positive it can get in the 11's with some better tires some more boost and some more timing. I think just tires would get me an 11 second pass. No matter what I did I spun the **** out of first gear.

I have no experience with the Toyo's, but 235's seems kind of small(That's what I'm running for my front tires).

The stock TII FC diff's pretty stout, so that's not bad having it.

I guess just practice launching and you'll have it down

I am impressed. That MPH is nice! You will definitley be in the MID 11s with a 1.6 60ft time. If you are only seeing 12psi and you ran that MPH, you are going great!

Congrats! Did you dyno the car yet?
