RE: Ok WTF am I doing wrong.
Assuming that you have not already done this, another item which may help to reduce your times is to reflash the tune immediately prior to racing.
The Spanish Oak CPU in the new Mustang GT's adjusts the tune according to your driving habits, e.g., drive aggressively and the tune maintains its original parameters, drive conservatively and the tune gets mushy. Reflashing the tune wipes your past driving habits from the computer's memory, thus returning the tune to its original state.(NOTE: Doing this is not necessary if your tuner eliminated the CPU's learning algorithm.)

Yes U.S 131 is in Martin just north of KZOO and about half an hour 45 min South of Grand Rapids.Somebody at Milan mentioned it.Said it was worth the drive.("Sticky")a little slower but well groomed nice facilities etc.But after hearing the nice things you have to say about Norwalk I'll probably go there first.

RE: Ok WTF am I doing wrong.
honestly, i wouldnt consider times from a Test n tune at lapeer to be valid times for comparison. when i was there, there was a good crowd of mustangs, and the track was so bad that new edge GTs were in the low to mid 15s...there was a C6, only running mid 13s...that place is awful, and with the construction around there, its a pain in the *** getting there.

RE: Ok WTF am I doing wrong.
I didn't expieriance much construction this weekend in and around Lapeer.But M53 was down to one lane between 23 mile and 27 slowed me up a bit.Lapeer is a pit for sure I don't think I'll ever take my car up there again.Live and learn I guess.The spectater side of the track was almost imposiable to stage with a stick.There was a dip in the strip right where the second laser was to light the second stage bulb.Whenever you took your foot off the brake and down on the clutch the car would roll forward breaking the laser and staging light.LOLHey ride off the Month where abouts in Macomb Twp are you?I'm also a residential builder.I'm starting a new subdivision on Garfield between 21 & 22 NW corner of 21 Garfield.I have my Stang there from time to time so if your ever in the area pop on by.I'd love for someone with your expireance to get behind the wheel and give me some feedback.Right now there are only two houses going up (models mines the ranch in the court)swing on by somtime if your in the area.

Yes since I went to the 4.10's I'm in fourth for probably the last 1/8 maybe more 3 sec? I use to be able to run 3rd with just flash and CAI.
