Not bad driving for a noob in terms of the launch, and the car is making great power. Why were you skeptical of the tune? There are Evos all over the place slapping down great times at the track with Al's tuning.

Looks like your main deficiency here is shifting. Just have to speed it up, but still good for the first time.
i was skeptical becausse i didn't feel a big difference when i first drove it but i guess it showed at the track

You have now learned why the butt dyno is not very useful. You 'feel' torque, so maybe you didn't have huge torque gains, but your HP gains were definitely very good.

because i was there too...but i didn't see another IX MR. I was there from 12pm-3pm.

It was my first time drag racing ever, and I had a blast, but I didn't do nearly as well as you. I was having problems getting off the line because I wasn't used to launching the car. I'm pretty sure next time I'll do better, because Vishnu told me I should be running 12.2. But 12.9 @ 106mph was my best...at least for now. Good job on your run and maybe I'll cya at Ennis in the future!

Toss in some race gas, crank the boost to 26psi, and drive a little better. Easy 11s with that based off how much power you already make with 22psi and 93oct...
