I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Pretty good time, all things considered. I was supposed to go to the track last week, but it rained. I really want to go before I head out Californee-way.

Heh, yeah. I also didn't launch high enough (4,000rpm) so that didn't help. I wanted to get some more runs in (I only got to do 2) but it started raining. I'm gonna go again next friday.

Funny thing is. The FIRST run, I had an RT of 1.08, forgot to launch (was REALLY sleeping), and ran a 15.7 against my co-workers Mustang GT (the whole reason I took it to the track). He dusted me to the 1/8th and then I blew by him and beat him by almost 2 seconds (he ran 17.5). Then raced a Charger R/T and ran that 14.9 (Charger ran 15.9 ), and got accused of spraying (LOL).

I bet with a tune and some seat time you'd be getting into the high 13s. :up: Unless you crank the boost. :wink:

Ostrich & Datalogger enroute, trying to find a good deal on a wideband and electronic boost controller. I plan on hitting 13s next friday.

:up: Do it on low boost! Bring the driving up to the car before upping teh boost. It's a challenge.

I wanted to see what I could get out of 10psi. Boob beat me on slicks. He went 12.02 on his 10psi turbo LS.

Yeah. I got leave from the 4th to the 20th of July and i'm so tempted to drive the hatch home and run it (everyone says you'll run 1-2 seconds faster than here because of elevation) I don't plan on running more than 10psi till I get my other block built.
