so the week leading up to the track i was fighting a boost leak issue with my intake manifold and egr leaking, after a long painful week I got them fixed for the most part.

I got my oil cap and catch can setup installed:

It works fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone, plus Hal is a great guy to work with.
Track day was awesome, getting closer to making the car consistent and learned some things.
Here is my best pass of the day and my fastest ET ever:

This is slip is what I feel would of been my best run ever if I could of stayed in it:

My CEL came on from the knock sensor and i had to get out of it, but I got back in it problem free and still ran a best ET 11.44@115.

To be honest today I was ready to sell the car, it has quality parts on it and is setup well.
Then I went and got gas ran into a 600 rocket and walked on it a bit, then on the way home from the parts store I ran into a gsx1000 and I got raped, it was pulling a wheelie past me.

I posted on the link forums that I learned a lot about racing and my goals, I realized that all the guys running 10s on baby turbos weigh a lot less than me, to be honest they are tin cans usually in the 2600-27xxlbs range with driver.
I know on slicks, I could do a 11.2, maybe an 11.1 on a good track, but without more power or a lot less weight I just don't know.

Anyway, I'm just gonna throw some random parts I have laying around on the car, change my gauge layout and we will see how it does next year.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make this possible and thanks to everyone that showed for the track day, its been a long time since a big group of DSMers have been to the track together and I don't know the last time there was more than 1 fast DSM there at the same time, it was a blast!

So bigger turbo and spray?

You sound defeated man! 11.4 is pretty epic on such a basic setup IMHO, be happy! Plus you got to actually rip down the track at all...enjoy the times you've had and just keep having fun. :)

I can't remember, are you currently on a small 16g?

"I know on slicks, I could do a 11.2, maybe an 11.1 on a good track, but without more power or a lot less weight I just don't know."

I pulled of an 11.2 with almost the same setup as you. There is more in it the way it sits, why not leave at higher boost?

Nope, EF1.

Damn it, I was getting there the last few passes i was leaving at 1 more psi each time. I forgot you did an 11.29, i thought u did a ton of 11.40s

I actually missed it but my fastest pass was 11.42@120, I guess I do have more left in this. :woot:

[Tachyon]

What needs to be done to hit 1.5's on the autobox?

Needless to say, get the 60' down and you'll be barking at 10's
