With deleting the ACD junk, you probably dropped another 30lbs+ from the car. In the Shootout thread, the ESA rules don't say anything about aero mods, so I guess you would have to ask Mr. Buschur. If aero mods are allowed, front bumper covers would be nice + at least a rear under tray for the air getting stuck in the rear bumper. I'm not sure about you, but I definitely do not want to take a hole saw to my rear bumper. Titanium is stupid expensive, I would just go with a 3.5" aluminum exhaust. I have a 3" aluminum exhaust sitting in the garage as we speak, will be installed on my RS this winter...
but the 2014 modifications will be limited. I have a new project we're working on for next year that'll take a lot of time and energy

I'm that guy. Me and the guys measured it all up and went to cutting. Put 3 x 3" holes on each side with little holes around the license plate. To our surprise, it doesn't look bad.

Dag Nabit!!
And AreSTG, you had to do it!! Again I find myself staring at your taillights. Well you definitely deserve it. You have been my motivator on this Spec-Ops team to go faster and faster. Already got some big plans for my return and hopefully can join you in the 9 sec club next year.

Took the car out to Bakersfield yesterday to test out smaller slicks and a few areo mods I made to the car. Pretty happy with the results. I wasn't able to go any faster on ET but I gained alot on mph. I know the FP Zero went 151.xx and set a new mph record for stock framed turbos but I dont know if i beat him with a 151.78? We will need him to post a copy of his slip to confirm. I got one more test n tune session on the 28th to try and go faster on the ET. Now for the pics.

I tried looking for the FP Zero times lips but couldn't find it anywhere. I thought everyone needed to post a pic of their timeslip to make it on the list?

Dave is a good friend of mine, I have a picture of his timeslip somewhere. You have the fastest mph he went 151.77 on his first pass without a 2 step, I think it was only a 10.5-10.6 pass rolling out. Every pass after that we tried a new fuel on but had to lower boost due to it maxing the system out. I know he was hoping to get the car out for a few more passes before the end of the year should be a race to the finish! Where are you racing at? It's snowing where we are and well have to make a long drive to warmer weather.
Congrats on the pass
Congrats on the pass

This was his first pass on the new set up, we relaized we forgot the speed sensor harness and had no two step so he rolled it out, after that we had the two step working but they closed the track down to 1/8 mile only due to high winds. By the end of the day he was going 6.2 around 121-122mph in the 1/8th.
Here is our only decent pass at MIR on 33psi due to the fuel change, we couldn't raise the boost any higher. How much boost are you running on that 35r?

My local track was closed that day so we went to Bakersfield which was 250 miles away. We usually go to Sacramento raceway to do testing. Sacramento's track is open all year round unless it's raining. I see 39 psi going down the track.

Ya I'm sure well have to travel 5+ hours away to get an open track. I wish we had 26's and a 4.11 final. Congrats again can't wait to see how the last few weeks play out.
