So I finally got my ass in gear and went out last night for some 1320' racing.
Temps were upper 70's tappering to low 70's (guessing, as their thermometer display was not working). There was a pretty good headwind too (maybe 10-15mph).
Bandimere Speedway is at 5800ft above sea level.
Last year I was ran a best of 15.08 @ 89.8x. Which was frustrating, as I really wanted to get into the 14's and low 90's.
Since then I've: installed my modified VRG FCD, replaced my old TXS MBC with a new JoeP MBC, and I recently cleaned out my A/W core (minor oil build-up) and lightly ported the TB inlet and the inlet inlet pipe to the A/W core.
Still around 14psi in 4th (less in 1-3, maybe 12psi).
My runs from last night:
60'........1/8...........1/4
2.025 - 9.641 - 15.159 @ 89.97
2.072 - 9.607 - 15.071 @ 90.44
2.051 - 9.526 - 14.943 @ 91.27
2.053 - 9.567 - 15.080 @ 89.37
1.996 - 9.488 - 14.944 @ 90.03
My 1/8mi traps were 72-73mph.
So I made my goal (for now) of 14's and 90+mph!! That would be around a 14.3@96 at sea level
On my best pass (bold above) I was up against an '07 Mustang GT with exhaust/intake/??? (he said bolt-on's) - I had him all the way through the 1/8 and he only creeped by me to win by 0.2sec. He waved my over after the slip window and asked what the hell I had done to my car? He was cool and gave me props for the run (suprised the hell out of him)
Just for reference here were some other street car runs from last night (altitude is a bitch)
'08 WRX hatch Stock = 15.3-15.4 @ 86-88
'08 WRX hatch DP/tune = 14.6-14.8 @ 92
Evo X = 14.4 @ 94 (this was too slow for the car I'd say)
Mini S Convert = 16.7 @ 83
MazdaSpeed 3 modded = ??@98mph
MazdaSpeed 6 modded = Low 15's @ 91mph
Next year - EM and mid-high 90's!! (I still have some pretty good hesitation in multiple gears, I know that alone is robbing me of 1-2mph )
