Been a while, but back with my best times ever...
Had a great night at the track today. Finally turned some good times. I was just road tuned a few weeks ago by Jestr and the one glitch we had was that my EBC was maxed at 26 psi. So after the tune I went to the track and ran horrible, I got 2 runs in and gave up. They were 13.77@107.4 and 13.57@107.6. There was something wrong with the EBC because 1st, 2nd and 3rd all felt like the gain was too high and it was 2 clicks from off. So after talking with Mannie (04AWDTURBOEVO) he said I should try putting a restrictor in the pressure side of the EBC line. He also sold me his Forge WGA. So after getting the WGA on and getting 26 psi at now around ½ on the High Boost knob, I worked on the restrictor. I got it in and right away I gained 3 psi with no other changes. Did a run from 2nd to 4th and bam, smooth as hell.
So now that my car is running tip-top, its time to redeem my horrible times. So my first run I hit a 12.45@114.51!! This was with a boost spike of 25.4 psi (not sure which gear or the taper, got that from the Zeitronix memory).
Second run, clicked the boost up 2 times. Got a good launch, ran 12.08@114.37!!! Boost spike that time was 26.1 psi. Best run of the night and best E/T and trap ever by my car. Just awesome.
Third run, eh. I clicked the boost up 2 more times, and tried adjusting the clutch a bit to get it to grab a bit lower. I tried a little different way of launching and bogged it, ran a 12.37@115.50. This was spike of 27.1. That’s when I called it a night. I was satisfied with what I had already ran.
Big thanks to John of course and a big thanks to Mannie for helping me get my EBC working correctly.

I know my launch could improve, but after that night, that was literally the 7th time I launched with that clutch. I'm just really trying to be careful and not break anything.
I'll get it, going to the track again on Friday, if it doesn't rain.
