Went to an open test and tune at my local(ish) 1/4 mile strip....
Mods:
APR Stage 1
K&N CAI
Eurojet Cat-back
Forge BOV spacer
My best run was 14.7@98.3mph
The Good:
-After a few runs I was able to get a decent launch down. Rev to 2200 and hit the gas at about half power until it hooks up then floor it.
-For only having the car for 3 months and not having raced on a legal strip in ore than 7 years, I wasn't too disappointed in this time.
The Bad:
-That being said I was still a little disappointed in my times as I know a stage 1 can do better than this.
-It was 90deg at 7pm when we started.
-I was running on crappy all seasons with barely any tread left that came on the car when I bought it in February.
-It's been 7 years since I've done any racing of this type.
The Ugly:
-I got about 9 runs in. On 4 of those runs, I had an issue with shifting into 3rd gear... It would catch on the gate then slip into first which, as I'm sure you can image, is not only extremely scary but pretty much ends any chance of a decent time.
Worst time with a "smooth" run was 14.9.
