I was having some ignition issues at the top end of the track. According to my logs about 2 seconds from the finish I was blowing my spark out from too much gap. It's my own fault though.. I brought every other tool besides my feeler gauge and just stuck in a virgin set of NKG BPR7ES's and had no way to check the gap. Even with those issues I was still able to run the time above. Not exactly a good indication of the setup's potential, but non the less I'm pleased with the MPH. I'd like to see a ET to match however
I'm beat guys.. I'll get a more detailed write up tomorrow.

1.73 was by best of the night. I was surpised to see at how much additional RPM I needed on the track compared to the street. It took me a few passes to find what the car wanted. I know there's 1.6x in the future. I just need to learn the clutch a little more. I've only got 1000 miles on it and thats with two trips back and forth to Denver (MAC and Bandi). Not to mention my screw up..
I ended up getting on 36 instead of 76/70 and went all the way back to Boulder and had to come BACK down to Morrison.
I'll figure it out and get back down there. I definately feel it's got 121mph in it. I just don't know if I'm a good enough driver to get a ET to match!
[edit] No lag at all. It jumps to 20+lbs quick! This is about as large of a turbo as I'd go on a stock 2.0L up here. It's got a pretty good boost threshold but the top end on this thing is sick! [/edit]

Thats Great! If I could get me a 1.7, 1.6 I bet I could get a 12.3- 12.4 out of it with no cams. Like you said got to get used to the clutch. You have those lighter wheels and good tires. I'm sure that helps too. You'll get it, that thing is a Monster!
