One of these days we'll go to the track on the same day.. It's now been 2 years since I last went, really wish I had a chance this year. Seems like I'm busy in the spring/fall when I want to go.

Also, I gave myself the 112mph because thats what I ran in the left lane all night and other people noted the right lane MPH was reading low too. I had a 12.7@112mph in the left lane.

So your first time out on just an intake/tune, and a tire. You were getting a DA corrected 117?

My car must be weak or my tune must be trash. Because I have more mods than that and I'm not even getting 117 corrected right now.

WTF? Maybe I should've kept the KB 3v car? lol

yep, cai+tune+tires I ran a corrected 117mph. (I think it was 109mph at 6200' DA).. so if the boss intake + 4.10s are as useless as some people claim then the O/R x gave me 2mph... a little more than I'd expect... I think it just adds up, the 3 mods.

I don't even remember what tune I was running with cai+tune only... possibly brenspeed. I know I ran a BBR tune for a bit but I think that was with intake manifold + or/x.. I don't know if I had the steeda tune when I went or if it was still the BBR tune... I think it was the BBR. It ran rough at idle and backfired at a cold start so I got rid of it.

One thing that doesn't make sense to me. Put the DA calculator back in the pocket for a moment.

12.6@112, 1.9 60'
12.7@110, 2.0 60'

If you were really trapping 112. Why not a lower ET? That 2mph trap plus that better 60' ought to have produced more than a tenth off. Makes me wonder if you weren't really trapping 112 that day.

Sucks we can't make any passes now until May. :/

Gearing. Proves the misconception about steeper gears only helping down low. I've always gained trap speed from switching to a lower final ratio.
