Short version:
I drove 150 miles, ran 11.22 at 127.9, killed an R6 on the freeway, drove home 150 miles. No backup vehicle. No tools in the car, not even a screwdriver.
Timing was at 3 degrees.
Car has a stock intake manifold.
Shifted at 7k.


novel version:
I haven't had a laptop to tune with in a month and just changed my setup, I had 1hr to tune on pumpgas and get my fuel map dialed in, I scrambled like hell to get something resembling a decent state of tune in.
Got to yakima around 5:30. Threw in C16 and left the house at 5:50 (tech ends at 7). Did a couple pulls, turned the boost up to 29, made sure it wasn't running lean, left TIMING ADVANCE AT 3 DEGREES.
Rush to the track. Go through tech, deflate tires.

60' 1.72 1.70 1.72 1.98
330 4.87 5.01 4.87 5.34
1/8 7.33 7.55 7.39 7.88
mph 97.58 94.54 96.2 96.81
1000 9.46 9.743 9.57 10.05
1/4 11.22 11.52 11.39 11.83
mph 127.96 125.61 120.85 126.45

On the third and fourth passes it was dark and my dash lights went out, so I was running with no tach. The shiftlight was on in 4th for a while so I decided to shift to 5th for fear of hitting the revlimiter. Obviously that was stupid, 7mph GONE.
The last pass the track cooled off and turned to ice, I hit the rev limiter three times in 1st just spinning the tires. There is some great footage of me shooting flames three times

When we were leaving Shari's after eating some kid with an R6 wanted to race me. I still had C16 in the car, so I told him lets race on the freeway. I pulled on him by multiple car lengths, repeatidly.


Car is still daily driven, it's lightened a little bit, race weight is just shy of 3100. It actually has a real stereo in it, a bunch of sound deadening too. The AC and power steering are gone though.
I'm really happy with the times for the crappy state of tune, with more boost/timing, a new intake manifold, and higher revs it has a lot of room for improvement.
 
nice times... hopefully i can get something like that when i head to the track... :thumb:

very nice times...

what were you tuning with if you didn't have a laptop? :nono:

I meant I hadn't had one for a month, I pinched the cord for my charger and killed it. It was hard to find a cord for my outdated compaq, I finally found one last week.
I have an EMS, I HAVE to have a laptop.
 
Awesome times Nick, looks like tens are right around the corner.

128mph in a 3100lb, daily driven car is ridiculous.
 
Must be nice having a daily driven 11 second car that can run with bikes while on your way to work. :D
 
All my friends want me to line up my bike (2005) R6, vs my talon. I just don't see the point, oh wait I just don't trust them not to hit me when they launch and spin the tires. LOL
 
Nice passes ! Checked out your build list...looks like you've got a lot more in your car.

Don't bother racing them. A 2005 R6 does 10.73 @ 135mph in the 1/4 completly stock. However from a freeway roll a low 11 second car and pull a 10 second bike because a lot of the pull on a bike is 2nd gear in the 1/4 which you can't do on the highway where instead your running out 3rd mostly which just doesn't cut it. So basically if its from a stop they better run 10.6 if it's from a roll they better run 11.2 or better to beat you...

Nice to see the car is working out, 11.2 is great for a daily driven car, even if your commute is only 4 miles. :cool:
 
Quick car... Have you gotten it to the dyno yet?

On a side note, last weekend I yanked a car on a 2001 GSXR 750 with two other people in the car. It was nice because the kid I raced is one of my friends, who had been talking shit about how his bike would mop me.
