as always man 11's or bust is the motto for the night. Im hoping i can get my usual 1.7 60' at this track the prep isnt as good. Going out to gut the car right now should be good for a few tenths since ive always ran in street trim

actually only took an hour to gut the whole car, and when all you need is a tenth every little bit helps. Spoiler is coming off was well. toonah is on his way to dial the 2.6 in on the 109 . Just daily driving her she feels like less of a cow

well after many issues, the 2.6 slipped its ass off so i put the 2.7 on, Best run of the night was a 12.0@117. First few passes i kept blowing my vacuum line for my mechanical boost gauge, which was right in front of my meth reference line, so meth didnt work car was pulling timing and breaking up up top. Figured the issue out fixed with a zip tie, kicked off a 12.0@117 w a 1.7 60'. The next clean pass i had felt faster and cleaner but the beams at the end of the track were messed up and my slip says none across it. Overall im happy beat my best so far, and once i get an oversized idler pulley for the 2.6 and fix some boost lines it 11's all day

of course man, i have a goal and will achieve it. This isnt my usual track either and everyone including me usually runs two tenths slower here. The elevation and the da arent as good and niether is prep. only got four passes in and had nothing but issues the first two. The last i know was an 11 sec pass but thats how things go sometimes. im confident even on the 2.7 i could go 11's all day now after sorting some minor stuff out. i even seen evidence on my 2.7 pulley that i was having some slip. so anyone one a tvs lower than a 2.9 pulley i would suggest zzps oversized tensioner.
