[AWD DSM 1]

for the record Darryl ran a best 12.04 (that I saw), lots of fun, even if I did have to bring the Goobermobile...

He also laid down an incredible 1.5X 60 ft. time on one run while I was churning out 1.7x 60 footers. !.7's pretty much whips most of the competition out of the hole here locally, but 1.5x is just awesome to see!

My best was a 13.688 and a 100.22mph trap, those were on different runs though. I wouldn't say my launches were nice and casual, but they certainly not where I wanted them. (1.9s vs. 1.7s) I suspect my clutch was limiting me, because I launches as hard as I do on the street. For some reason though I couldn't get the tires to spin like they do on the street, and I think that's what caused my clutch to slip a bit. Also, both of my 13.6xx runs were done with ECS on sport mode, so that's something I'll have to remember in the future.

SPY: RO VR4 was there, he's got the DR500 turbos, and some kick ass Konig Tantrum 18" rims.

Dave...nothing personal on the launches. From what I hear those 3S's are hard to launch without the clutch slipping. It just looks to me like you could gain a couple tenths with a balls-to-the wall, transmission breaking AWD launch. Now, I didn't say it would be worth it, just maybe a little quicker. 8)

BTW - I found that my knock problem is very controlable under 17psi. The only problem with that is my car gets WICKED boost creep. I recently ran quite a few tests with Nate and the pocket logger. This thing almost always hits 17-18psi in 3rd and 19-20psi in 4th...no matter what! Whether I have the MBC set very low or even if I have my switch on low boost where the boost is supposed to be around 10-12psi.

So I'm looking for an external dump O2 housing that will allow me to run a constant psi of about 16-17psi without boost creep, and with out knock! Should prove to be a pretty substantial improvement. This would remedy my post 1/8th mile track times and MPH.
