Nice run!
Doesn't it feel great to when you set a goal and then reach it. Now you need to raise the bar (boost and goal ;) )

Yes, it felt dam good to reach the 11 second club. A few years back it seems if you were running 13's, you were really something and then that became common. Many people are running 12's now. It just seems like you have to run 11's or better nowdays to even stand out anymore. I'm not sure about setting new goals. If anything, it would only be down to 11.50 because i'm not gonna throw a cage in the car.

112 is fine for 25 psi on most DSM setups. I like C16 for the real boost though.

Yea for some reason though Sunday i was getting 3 to 3.5* of knock in thru 3rd and 4th gears. Coolant temps were a bit hot though at 210 and 213 thru the traps. I think coolant temps may also give an indication of whats going on in the combustion chamber also.
A few weeks back when i went and got only 1 run in due to rain out, I had some Sunoco Maximal. That's 116 octane. I didn't have any problems then. I only had a couple gallons left so i just mixed it in with the CAM2 112oct.
Probably engine temp is all i can assume at this point.

If your knock count is high and your coolant temps are high your are detonating, turn the boost down, octane up, or timing down.
Great run's, it is awesome to reach goals (I hope I hit mine this weekend).
