Default Heading to Track

Going to the track today and plan on starting with the 50, and swapping the 75 pills in if everything goes well. (Crossing fingers)

Got her all loaded up and ready to go:

Soooo... I just got home a little while ago. The good news is that nothing broke. The bad news is that the weather sucked and the track was packed.
Only got 3 runs. DA was 974 feet.

First run, all boost:
1.74 60'
12.1@115

Second run, 50 shot, 16 degrees of timing
1.89 60'
12.05@118

Third run, 50 shot, 16 degrees of timing
1.79 60'
11.87@119.5

I did not get to spray any full runs. The Microedge kept turning off the nitrous, because the truck was dipping into the 12:1 A/F. With only 2 runs, I was not able to dial in the tune. On the street, it is impossible to tune for the nitrous.

If I get the tune dialed and spray a full run, I am sure I can run 11.70's on the 50 shot. I plan on working my way up to a 100 shot.

Damn, three runs! That place must of been a ZOO!! Well looks like she ran strong. Do you know how much was actually being sprayed? Meaning was it half of first gear then it turn the nitrous off or did it spray intermittently? Got any logs you can post?

Well at least you got into the 11s! Maybe not your first time since you didn't seem to make to big a deal. Unless of course it was purely from the frustration of not getting many good runs.
