Yes, and honestly I think the car could have done that...or 13.3-13.4 completely stock. It is tough to get the X out of the hole compared to the old car, but I think I have a decent handle on it. When I was stock I left off idle being a pansy on the new clutch and the car easily went 13.7 @ 101. I'm going back to the track next Tuesday to shoot for some 12.9s I'm pretty confident I can get it there since I was shifting pretty normal and leaving the line fairly easy.
I'm sure my 260lb butt isn't helping
I tossed this thing on my scales and was over 3850 with me. I haven't weighed it with the new exhaust but I would guess 20lbs lighter maybe.

We had some small issues with our X at the event. This was a last minute event..literally 24 hours before we decided to go. Martin was supposed to drive but he was going out of town on vacation, so we opted to put one of our employees Frank in the car. He has some track experience but isn't a pro by any means. He did very well in the Auto cross running a 1:02 followed by a 1:01 and then on his final hot lap he was on pace to do a very low 59 or even a 58 but at the last big right hander after the slalom the car went limp. He has to literally coast the last section of the track with the car not making ANY boost.... even doing this he still coasted to a 1:02
After getting the car to the pits we were certain that the car was in limp mode. We reset the ECU and unplugged the battery...nothing. Time was ticking down and the drag race portion of the even was minutes away. We Tried some last minute things but no matter what we did the car would not make a single pound of boost and would fall on its face. We visually checked the intercooler piping but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. We had to pack it up and not finish the event. We were disappointed but that is racing.
After getting the car back to the shop it seems to be the stock lower IC pipe might of worked its way loose, which would explain no boost. We were unable to see it with the undertray and everything bolted on the car. TBH even if we did we would not of had time to change it and make the next event.
Frank did very well and if things were different I think he could of won the A class but...we don't bench race and we were not the winners. A big congrats goes out to the car that did take home the A class. Thanks to everyone at winged warrior for having us and we look forward to next years event
