Unseasonably warm weather (70F) convinced my local track to open an unscheduled test and tune Wednesday. We got four passes in, the first was just a tuning pass 1st/2nd gear pull.
Three full passes:
Pass two:
1.3648 60'
3.7466 330'
5.6587 at 128.96mph 1/8
8.7277 at 160.79mph 1/4
Pass three was a soft launch and really rich:
1.4050 60'
3.7862 330'
5.6701 at 131.11mph 1/8
8.6960 at 161.80mph 1/4
Pass four:
1.3420 60'
3.6688 330'
5.5440 at 129.27mph 1/8
8.5581 at 162.93mph 1/4
If there is another chance this season, we'll take it out again and lean on it some more. I think it has a little more in it, but the rest isn't going to come out easily. This is still on Q16, a change over to VP Import might let me squeak a little more power out with a little more aggressive tune. That change will not happen until next season. I do have some other things to mess with to find more power though.
This is also, as far as I've been able to find, the quickest a FWD car has gone on gasoline. The previous record was 8.57 (Kenny Tran in his old Honda). Beating this record was one of my major goals for this year.
