No, I had the Mille Miglia wheels on a set of worn tires. I came there a little late so I basically had to do all 8 runs back to back and was sliding all over the place. My best time was 33.455. I think I could have done a little better with more rest for the car/tires but maybe next year. I hit the strip after the autoX but was dissapointed.

btw-I have a 2004 GSR w/tb, intake, and flash.........w/those worn tires

I clicked off 11.92 @ 117.59 which shoved me into the quick 8. Big valley killed me first round, BV run 2 is me. The starting line was super slick, the slickest track I've ever been on. I've never had to lower tire pressure that far. Best 60' was a 1.68 spinning the whole 60. Though, I'm not happy with the 60' times, I upped my mph by one full one.

Yes,I was running next to you on your 11.92 qualifying pass.I came over afterwards looking for an intercooler hose coupler for the lower I/C pipe to Buschur I/C as mine was ripped and leaking off boost BAD. BTW,I took your advise and bought a few off AMS once I got back home,they are much thicker/tougher.Checked every vendor in the pits and no one had any at all.Hope the AMS one lasts more than a few months like the last 2 Buschur units did.

Speaking about silicone hoses getting torn it happen to me as well. Both my hoses (2 ply) on the BR pipe was torn and I was losing power. I order a 4ply hose and haven't run into the same problem so far. The AMS is 4ply so it should be stronger. I went ahead and change the TB one to the AMS ply hose. I hope BR new motor mounts can help solve this issue.

Good luck.

Yes,that was the 2nd one in 6 months for me.I even went as far as to put on one of those engine Torque dampeners from Weapon-R,It helped but did not prevent it from happening again.Only could get 20psi out of the stock turbo with that boost leaking soooooo baaaaddddd.BTW,where did you get the 4ply,from AMS???

When it happen to me I was still getting 20 psi (pump gas and what I set it to) but man top end power sucked!

Here is where I got mines. I wanted to get the 4" length but they don't have it in 2.5". I got the 4ply hose that goes from the upper intercooler (2.5") to TB (2.75") from AMS.
