Hit up prp today turned out decent weather was premium . first run 1.95 60' 12.32@116.32mph. second run 1.81 60' 11.65@122.41mph. third run 1.72 60' 11.64@121.63mph. final run 1.75 60' 11.75@120.87mph. last two runs i was gettin some wheel hop. on the last run i actually had to jump out of the throttle cause it was hoppin so bad. next time i might have to adjust tire pressure i just ran how i pulled up. all passes except the first was ran at 25psi 50/50 104-93 mix. first run was at 24psi and me being a pu$$y!

I just got back from BSD. My friends evo 8 daily driver that I've been helping tune went 12.3 at 116 on pump (how he drives it to and from work). Its a fairly basic car, just flashing the stock ecu. Its funny, he has spent less on his turbo setup than a local kid spent on his AEM setup and is much faster. BSD is an uphill track and we were fighting a 25mph headwind all day.

My personal car, the eclipse went 129mph off the street. A little tweaking of the stock ecu rom and I got her to 130mph on street tires. Bolted up the slicks and went back to mid 11's but at 130mph. Same headwind and the uphill start kills my FWD.

Congrats dan, remember what we talked about!!! you will eventually maximize the **** out of that GT30 and you may shave off 3 or 4 tenths of a second off that puppy once you get the launch/throttle control under ways!!!

best of luck

5 MPH difference in the 1/8th, but no MPH difference at the big end... what was going on?

Nice MPH BTW.
