    HAAHAHHHHAA...I hear dat, it should be a scratch n sniff!

    I do feel alot better knowing I have all the up to date calibrations, and Johan's magic work. Can't wait to test it out and do some logs.

    Had my first track event since the car was new and 500 miles on the odometer. Stock, I ran consistent 13.2's at 106-107 back then.

    Now that I have my upgraded shafts, i finally added some Nitto 305/35/20 NT555R Drag Radials out back. I've read what others have said about these tires, and I am only wasting my time with them at the track. That they are pretty good for the street, and you could never hook a 4500 pound car with a 20" DR...I'm here to tell you that's BS, and a 1.624 60' slip to prove it.

    I got 4 runs in, and found the sweet spot at 17 psi in the rears. Although my MPH is WAY off because of timing retard by the knock sensors (yeah, its still there) i was totally stoked to run such a great 60' with stock wheels and the Nittos.

    I am still working on getting that retard issue in check, soon as I do, i should see 115+ MPH and some mid 11 ET.

    When I logged the adjustment of the sensors Johan did, it was the very first WOT run i performed after he sent it to me. From what i've been told, you have to go WOT a few times when changing tunes for it to truly take in the PCM...so what I THOUGHT i had fixed, actually still exists...
    I logged my last run and sent the log to Eddie at SHR, so from here on out, i'll be working with Eddie to resolve this. I'm hell bent and damned determined to get it fixed.

    Left lane me, right lane new marow SS

    Nothing wrong with an open diff on a sticky track......not always going to be like that though.

    What were the cam specs again?It's entirely possible your cylinder pressures are just waaay high.

    He adjusted the knock sensors by 10% and added some fuel (too much). Went to track last night for T&T. Made 9 passes. Began at 113mph and ended at 115 with tweaking of Johans tune. Nitto DR's and stock wheels on all four corners. Full weight, and my 220 pound fat ass.

    Best Run:
    60': 1.756
    330: 4.961
    1/8: 7.638
    MPH: 92.21
    1000: 9.950
    1/4: 11.902
    MPH: 115.04

    Track sucked for prep, NO VHT what so ever... probably last time to NPR. All in all it was funn as hell though. Got me some 11's...with a good launch, I could see some better ET's of course, but the car ran great. Did some logs, and adjusted than ran, repeat.
    I'de be dangerous with a laptop and CMR...;)
