Probably my last 1/4 mile night :(

Well, the Kuruma bumper and DPE wheels are gone. OEM busted bumper and stock 18s are back on. I was running on my bald 245/45/18 Michellin Pilot sports. I changed my oil and spark plugs today and decided to go to the track...most likely my last time before the Turbonetics kit is gone

The weather was amazing...high 60s with low humidity. This could have been the stickiest Orlando Speed World track I've ran on in the 4 years I've been going there.

Back in the day on 8psi (350rwhp/350rwtq), I ran a 12.25 @ 116mph on 265/40/18 BFG drag radials with a 1.9 60' time...that was in 90 degree heat in mid August 2007!

I've been running 10psi since August 2008. The car made 363rwhp/396rwtq at the old Performance Factory. I don't understand how I gained almost 15rwhp/45rwtq, but I still trap the same as I did on 8psi. Tonight, I ran a 12.5 @ 114mph with a 2.0 60' time on my bald street tires! I was pretty ecstatic! Even on that run, I wheel hopped through most of 1st gear and spun a little of 2nd gear. The track was sticky! On the streets...I can spin in 4th at 80mph. I'm being serious...my tires are bald!

I went with Aced16 who has a 100 shot of nitrous that was also tuned by Performance Factory. On 245/45/18 BFG KDWs, he ran a 12.9 @ 111mph. I was proud of him.
