13.5 @ 110mph explained. Options

[hammar]

what if I was already pig rich and added some 110. and didn't have a full tune?

I stopped hitting the 'race pump' last year and can pretty much count on running consistently now. This weekend's runs:

11.244@121.38
11.254@121.01
11.334@120.66 (stalled after I staged and still pulled a 0.011 light)
11.372@120.9
11.582@119.08 Driver error, up shifted to OD _way_ to early.

11.526@101.77 (bracket racing, I was on the brakes trying not to break out... still lost)
11.887@96.83 (coasted to the win)
13.44@82.88 (coasted to the win)

I often wonder if a lot of our super high strung turbo cars would be completely different animals if their owners/tuners ran them at 95% instead of 101% on race day?
