First time at the track

This is my first time at the track with my new girl. I recently purchased a 2006 GG IX SE.
mods: TBE,and Jester tune
RT 1.285
60' 1.997
330' 5.496
1/8 8.440
MPH 83.34
1000' 10.998
1/4 13.117
MPH 106.37
I was very impressed with the car, I am almost positive that she can hit a high 12. I would greatly appreciate any feed back weather it be good or bad.

Thanks
-David

I assume its just poor shifting but u should be faster. Evo 9's with exhaust and tune can run low 12's if all goes right. It takes some practice though

I dont know how to log. The seller did give me the cable. Dont know anything about tunning, but I am very interested in logging. I want to learn as much as I can about my car.

Nope I just got the IX. I had an VIII, but it was involved in a hit and run. I need to change my profile. Sorry about the confusion.

how do you not know your elevation and weather? LOL.

more importantly did you up the boost, or are you running stock boost? I run a Jestr tune on 93 octane, but i removed the the restrictor pill at the solenoid. it bumps your boost up 2 psi across the board.

you really need to log your tune, to get the most out of it.

C'mon guys don't forget it was his first time at the track as well. Now i find it surprising that he had an VIII and didn't drag it, but gets a IX and does drag it. Hmmm, wonder if it was his first time at the track with the IX?

Ok so here's the story behind that, bought the VIII from a friend (young friend). Biggest mistake I could have ever made I spent a year trying to fix it but with no luck. It would always knock under boost. Went out one night with the wife and got hit in the back by a truck and put into a wall. The guy takes off, the insurance totals my car. And buy pure luck I find a GG IX SE with only 2,800 miles on her.
