One powerful set up you got. I wish I had a top end like that. 134 trap wow.
With me, once my right foot goes down, it's not coming back up til it's over.
I wouldve probably tried 20 psi or even 18 on those bfgs.
LOL! Granny shifting indeed... My pocket still hurts with the gbox rebuild so i am taking it easy...

I wanted to try even lower tire pressure but from the fourth pass i was told that i will only be allowed one more and thats it....

The car has power no doubt... on the 2nd pass i picked up 35mph in the backend and on the 3rd pass 33mph... and still not powershifting, however my shifts were clean in the 0.3 sec range (100TPS - shift - 100TPS)...

You lose alot not power shifting. I always say my best mod is my auto trans. Mounted between the pedal and driver seat.
You should only be scared if you have a stupid clutch. Also, these trans love to be driven hard. Grab the shifter and throw it like it's the last thing you'll ever do. No butterfingers. Grab it and jam it in. Works for me. Never miss a gear.

Don't let me catch you with my powerband. That will be embarrasing.

It's the closing of the tps where you lose time.

Kouzman!!
I cant imagine what this car will trap with some faster shifting!! You are getting there though, you gotta come down so I can look over the tune... its been about 1yr.
We need to really get a magnus intake on this car. I can see a 137-38mph pumpgas car.

Junior,

the car ran perfectly today! It was pulling and pulling and pulling... It was endless!

The only two hikups i had was the rev limiter on the one pass which i hit before i finish and the other one was the boost cut which its there to protect!

I dont even think i need an intake, or even a ported head! I just need to up the limiter and change gears like you! HA HA HA HA...

I am sooo upset that i didn't have my incar camera with me today... The way it was revving and turning the tacho was IMPRESSIVE to say at least!

Nice run bro. Once you get the hang of the tires your car is going to rock. Try power shifting, but if you dont like to dont. Another great car tuned by JR. The Shop getting it done. Nice driving

congrats! None-the-less on PUMP gas

Try 18-20psi in those DR's... you might also try heating them depending upon how well your clutch wants to play with you.
