Well I'm pretty sure this one pic sums up the whole day:

I spent all of an hour editing together our scientifical data, videos, and pics to help showcase the caliber of work hughes & I can do when we put our minds to it :D

note: I *just* uploaded this to google, so it might be a few hours before everyone can see it.

For testing we did 3 pulls in 2nd gear on mostly flat streets around my house. The car still has stock exhaust, so I wasn't too worried about pissing off the neighbors :D We went from 3000rpms to 7000rpms

Stock times (in seconds): 7.97, 8.65, 6.88

Stage1 times (in secs ) : 5.85, 6.41, 5.91

The times themselves are off a little, but we did the pulls on the same stretch of road so when averaged they should be fairly accurate:

stock avg: 7.83 secs
stage1 av: 6.06 secs

MAD POWA YO!!!!!

Hows that thing shifting now that all the clutch components are good? I was meaning to ask you and kinda forgot. Is it still grinding into second?

It grinds 2nd unless you shift slowly so I always just double-clutch it. The rest of the gears are fine as long as you know the feel of the transmission, I can shift them quickly and have no grinds or notches.
