beaterX returns to the drag strip! BBX, supporting mods, pump gas :)
Previous trip to BIR on stock turbo/pump gas was pretty consistent 13.3's@106mph and one 13.1@106.

Added ACT HDG6 clutch, dw800's, CBRD BBX, MAP o2 elim downpipe, and MAP prototype tubular exhaust manifold. This is a full-weight X with a full tank of gas, street car, sumitomo tires, just out here to have FUN!
Headed out to Rock Falls Raceway (aka slippery falls) in WI saturday for a test & tune.
This was a little more expensive than a sport compact day but MAN you could freaking hotlap all day if you wanted to!
First run: 12.7@115mph (as I rolled off the street, rolling through water box)
Second run: 12.55@113 (slightly improved 60', rolling through water box)
Third run: 12.51@115.0 (dropped tire pressure to 24psi, still rolled through water)
At this point I knew if I could get my 60' down I could run a 12.4 or maybe 12.3? I made the mistake of saying that to a few friends and that then became my goal for the day.
I was trying to go around the water box from third run on but the track officials wouldn't not cover the entire area with water so it was tough...finally go that resolved and they made room to go around....fourth and fifth runs I dropped the tire pressure to 20psi, raised the 2-step to 6500rpm and finally got to go around the water....BOGGed the first run bad and ran a 12.9 then the fifth run I didn't bog quite as bad (slipped clutch more) but missed the shift to 2nd so ran a 13.1.
I was frustrated as all getout but then I decided to man up and raise the 2-step to 7000 to try and get the bogging issue behind me.
Sixth run I finally didn't bog, got a decent 60' (low 1.8x) and overall a pretty clean run. 12.403@115.9! I was ecstatic!
The weather was beautiful and I had reached my goal in my mind and was ready to hang up my helmet for the day. After staring at empty lines for about 30 mins and watching some pretty fast cars I received a txt from my wife Anna (I had been updating her and a few others) 'keep going!!!!' ....how could I turn down a woman's request like that? So I manned up and hopped back in the car for run 7.
Run seven: 12.3@116.7 Probably about the cleanest run I could pull off and I had a smile on my face the whole way.
With the new manifold this car has really come into its own. Pump gas only, stock cams (fully stock longblock for that matter!), basic power mods and the BBX the car is a freaking blast on the street, and heated leather seats with cruise control to make the two-hour trip to the track and back

Those are some real nice times!
For a car that is basically a street driven daily driver, it performs very well. It just shows how capable the BBX really is. I am sure you can get another tenth or so out of her. Do a little weight reduction....less gas, remove spare and jack, etc. And you get get there pretty easy.
