First past was 13.xx@10x, then it ran 12.97@109. I knew that was a good pass so I made the first turn out. But the slicks are ran at a very low air pressure. The right wheel rolled over the rim and damaged the sidewall.

Next past was 13.79@111 on street tires the exact way I drove it everyday.

If I can confirm it, thanks for the grab, I never know who's filming me as I never have anybody with me.
It's a small world out there lol!. Yeah, Fontana is usually 2 or 3 tenths off from Famoso in my experience. Good times

EDITED: Sorry not a 1.2 60ft, it was a 2.2 60ft, here is the time slip
Post #11 - https://www.focusst.org/threads/2016...-enough.67698/

Stock tune = 220 hp

Never had it on the dyno after that with the stock turbo, weight and trap speed say 260 hp. Clearly held back by the stock intercooler.

Had it on the dyno at FocusSport shortly after installing the upgraded turbo. I have to find the graph but it's not great 280 or something on the base tune.

111 mph trap speed is roughly 320 whp and it was very early in the process. The tune was good but the wastegate wasn't tight enough because max duty cycle commanded only resulted in 22-23 psi.

To fix that would require dropping the engine on the subframe.

The ST is gone
