Re: New personal BEST with a twist.
Good shit man. I just checked out your garage and you have a very clean and sexy ride and it obviously packs a punch. I wanted that car for sooo long until it became impossible to find one with low miles.

Re: New personal BEST with a twist.
Shouldnt you be at least in the 10s? The mod list in your profile seems like it should be running A LOT faster then it is. Possibly the tuning or the Weight seems to be holding you back a lot. Either that or you really need to learn how to drive lol.
Also How do you get your Magnus SMIM so shiney?!?! Mine has dulled, i have tried everything from chrome polish to rubbing compound, nothing gets that mirror finish back.
And one more thing, where did you get your radiator pipe, that is really cool and havent seen that before.

DUDE!! First time to the track on the new set-up and in full weight on 22psi with 93 octane!! Sorry to disappoint you.
White diamond metal polish, works great.
Pipe was built by VPE when they did the manifold.

Re: New personal BEST with a twist.
Great runs, that sounds like some good power on pump gas. I would think around 380-400awhp up here on a DD. Keep up the good work and get some race gas in there and hope the drive train holds. Tom go find R for race.

Still you could have done better. LOL
Were you getting any knock on the run or what was your A/F looking like?

Tom, shut up until YOU do it. Get out of the high 13's before you start telling someone they should be faster than mid 11's on pump gas. 11's is no easy feat, especially on pump gas in a heavy car.

Yes I know I could have done better, but as I said earlier, I ran out of time at the track. The 3rd run which was my last should have been my best, but I clutched too quickly and had to double shift 2nd gear. But to answer your question, 10.7-10.8:1 afr on the last run with only .4 knock retard at 6500rpm, otherwise there was no knock period.

Easy jet, i was only joking around. and the high 13s was in a GST, not hooking up at the launch, untuned knocking and running really hot.

Re: New personal BEST with a twist.
At least thats all been corrected. Now its a GSX, bigger injectors, bigger intercoooler, bigger turbo, more boost. This week im gonna grab my buddies Gtech and do a couple runs to see just how much of an impact the above will bring me. My buddy used the gtech at the track on saturday and it was dead on on every run he did.

Still, what JET said is kind of true.. it just seemed a little cocky the way you worded it. Vicious obviously met his goal for the day and was happy with his results, and said originally he knew he could have done better. He knows there is room for improvement. 
Just my pennies.

Wait, did Tom just tell Vicious what he's doing wrong?

Re: New personal BEST with a twist.
Tom, drop the holier than though, piss poor attitude. I bet you think your car will run 10's on pump, don't you? Damn bench racers.
