Gonna have to wait for results until friday. My buddy will be shooting with a 6k camera to try and get some decent footage. I will be filming from inside the car like i always do.
Definately not as easy launching this car as it use to be but found a fix. My 2 step is set to 2k because its what worked best for me before i had the box. Its what netted me 97% rate of runing 2.0 to 2.1 60ft consistantly. Before i lowered my max boost 1st gear i was not able to keep my foot floored without having to feather the gas due to spinning. Now thats i lowered it from 4k to 5k range seems to allows me to run it the way i use too.
Should be interesting.

Well since my rims where on national backorder or some garbage I decided to go to a local speedshop to have them order a set and slap my slicks on. They are going to be ready tomorrow at noon sometime.
BYT is unfortunately booked until my appointment on the 30th and cant shave the calipers down in time. Will most likely do this myself tomorrow if i can find someone that has the tool to do it. He is also hooking up the meth and tuning it as well that day.
Going to run the car tomorrow the way it sits at Atco. Hoping to run it on the slicks but will make a few passes on street tires if it dont work out with shaving them down.
I guess the goal is to break a 13.125 on street tires and hit anything below a 12.7 on slicks. Got two days of racing coming up so the car should see a good amount of passes.
Will post some results tomorrow.

Hmm its not the stock HE thats busted its the radiator which should be a easy fix and find. Located one 30 minutes away already. Got a buddy coming here in the morning to help me fetch and install the radiator. Then out to pick up the slicks and back home to shave whatever is needed to fit the rims on.
If all goes well i will still have results tomorrow.

Well its definately the radiator and it was taken out this morning. Replacement will be here at 10am tomorrow morning. Buddy is coming to pick me up and we are going to install it in the afternoon.
Got the slick back today all ready to go as well. Got it grinded down to fit the wheel. Not to much shaving needed at all to make it fit. Did not really care what the wheels looked like as long as it was functional. Got a pair of Verde Protocols i believe they are called and are 6 pounds lighter than stock. If the stock weight is 24 that is.

Well my buddy is on the way down and i should be getting a call any minute letting me know my radiator is in. Cost me a furtune having it overnighted but i dont really care about that. Should have it up and running again in a few hours.
Will also be running my buddies TC thats has a few bolt on and is BYT Tuned. Unfortunately he needs a slight driver mod since the best he drove it at was 14's.
Hoping the car will bang a mid 12 with the slicks on but will have to learn tires pressure and what to set the box at for optimal launching. Gonna start at 3-5k launched and see how it works out.

Atco was packed last night. Test and Tune, 8.5 & 10.5 index running as well. Got to the track at 6:15 and finally made my first pass of the night at 8:30. It was an exciting one for sure.

Apparently never hit the play button on my iphone.
I expected to break the axels next so its no biggie at all to me. More pissed about the 200 bucks it cost me to get it towed back.
Not sure what to go with for axels definately cant have them breaking like butter on a little 3k launch. Need to talk to Nick and touch base with ZZP as well.
Dont trust the LNF axels holding the abuse so either stage 2,3. Not sure if Stage 1 will do. My car usually goes to the track 4 times a month with about 20-30 passes a month. I need something thats gonna take that abuse.
