I can't say that I'm satisfied but it is a new personal best:
1.91 60ft
12.5 sec
113 mph
Timeslips to come...

Quick! Update over at Evotuners.net before I head back to the track again.... you can be the top runner for a half a week or so Hell, if it rains again you can be top runner until the weather clears up here in Indiana

Anyway, congratulations on the new personal best, what were your 1/8 ET and 1/8 mph? With that 1/4 trap speed you are set to go for a low 12 to (on a perfect run) high 11 run. What fuel and boost did you run this time?

Also, how many runs did you get? With more runs in your times will get better and better... this is known as tightening the nut that holds the wheel

Hey watch those red-lights, Smogrunner.

0.252 RT tells me you weren't even trying to time the tree.

If you ever get into competitive bracket racing, you will live and die by your RTs.

Hey lucky317, you and your friends were genuinely nice guys. I hope to see you again soon. I went to the Celica boards but didn't take the time yet to register in order to say Hi to your guys.

I redlighted twice. With nothing to lose by redlighting, I was just testing the limits of quick launchs and not doing such a good job.

By the way, my car has not been tuned yet by shiv for the stage 1+. I was running the baseline map for 100 octane with 104 unleaded.

Congrats!!

With some custom tuning you should pick up a few more ponies.

Just curious, are you still on the stock clutch??

the black auto celica is going to race for his first time so we'll be taking him to irwindale in 2 weeks. it's basically stock but will be a great day cause the 90 all trac pushin round 350 whp might make it out also.

hes still breakin in the motor. will be some good times though!

once our team site is back up we always post what track days and BBq's we will be going to or hosting.

Yes, stock clutch and 14,000 miles. It feels good but where I think it is hurting me most is my 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Very soft and not quick to engage (no second gear "chirp" at all).

Even with an upgraded clutch it is almost impossible to get a chirp on the 1-2 shift. But if your clutch feels "soft" on the shift that is a sure sign that the launch is taking it's toll on the poor thing. When you going to upgrade, and what clutch are you going to go with?
