That doesn't leave much time for you two guys to be polishing each others pulleys.
Yeah, I could have done 40 if I wanted to hot lap more, these $100 buy in track days are awesome.

I averaged 2-3 grouped runs in a row

Thanks!......... Man, I tried and I tried to get those 60' down, it just wasn't going to happen on my street tires. I didn't preload the Caltracs at all or lower my tire presuure any either, just did a "run what ya brung" type thing.

Did you line up against any of my diesel bretheren that day?
Yes, and got spanked every time, they either launched in 4wd or had slicks out back. The difference in 60' times was ridiculous
LOL, some dude in a white truck had his exhaust dumped before the axle, lets just say his rear window and cab looked like it was covered in soot

Glad to hear that everyone had an awesome time and nothing went up in smoke except some tires.

thanks mate, I did that logging we talked about, temps ranged from 80deg - 67deg. I never saw my IAT's go over 139 deg, with the average being about 120deg.

Good deal!!! I'm hoping to see a 13.7-.9 once I get my Eaton installed. That big thing really gets rolling on the big end!

That 14.3's not too shabby with yours, either! My 60' times went from 2.40 to 2.10, just from the Radix. I figure 1.9's to 2.0's max without getting too radical, or breaking stuff!

Thanks grippy. I relocated my hose to the wastegate on the compressor and I am seeing much lower boost. I was out yesterday in 55*F temps and 127*F was the max I saw. Still playing around with it. Did you notice any KR or pulled timing at 139 deg IATs. Thanks again for the info.
