That was in oct 07's MMFF

 

Yeah that was an older articleI thought older than 10-2007, but a very good read!

 

Yes I know.

 

thats an oldie. maybe 2 years.

 

Sorry it was oct 2006..That article is why I bought a s197

 

Yep. I like that article myself. If you read past the hyperbole it seems pretty accurate.
Ive seen some magazine articles you have to wonder about.

I used 2nd run times for more consistent temp.

They got 0.33 and 2.7 mph for CAI/Tune.
I got 0.40 and 3.1 mph.

I would even say the ET's are well within reach.
They ran a 13.19 @ 105.2 on around a 1.9 60' (Estimate based on the other runs). They dont state the DA.
I ran a 13.085 @ 104.95 on a 1.895 60' at 944' DA.

Now Im just hoping I get the 0.17 and 0.7 mph they got fom the driveshaft.

 

These cars are simply awesome.

 

My actual experience confirms one of thhe things they pointed out, Heat does slow this engine down. Mine always does best when not too warm on the veryfirst run...

 

Yep, Mine does run better if I let it cool with the hood up until the upper radiator hose is just luke warm.
If I hot lap I loose a 0.10-0.15. Mine doesnt seem as severe as theirs.
Of course I have a 195F Termostat so actual engine temp may be to high even on the best runs.
Their car had a 180F.
