First night out SS/TC

Hey guys!

Was a so-so night out. But it's always fun to run, regardless. I went from an '89 Supercoupe to my current '09 TC, so I can't complain. My first two runs were stock, last was with the Trifecta tune. 60-65 degrees, barometer around 29. Track elevation 550.

1st
60 2.38
330 6.44
1/8 9.61
MPH 77.54
1/4 14.54
MPH 100.9

2nd
60 2.55 (!)
330 6.57
1/8 9.74
MPH 77.47
1/4 14.64
MPH 101.5

3rd (Trifecta Tune)
60 2.22
330 6.06
1/8 9.11
MPH 81.82
1/4 13.82
MPH 102.5


You'll notice that my MPH didn't change much on my last run even with the tune. I'm open to suggestions, but I will say that all my runs were without the no-lift shift. I noticed that on my last run from 1-2, 2-3, and even 3-4, there was hesitation before the turbo kicked back in. Is this easily fixed by using the NLS? I was looking for a trap over 105 with the tune. No doubt would have been closer to 13.5 without the lag. Any ideas?

Yeah, you need to be NLSing it. It keeps your turbo spooled and eliminates that hesitation while the turbo is re-building boost. BTW, I've noticed that NLSing around 5800 rpm seems to be the sweet spot.

What's up?! Good talking to you last night. I saw your last run, but didn't catch the time. Lots of spin on that lovely Island asphalt though
