Finally broke into the 12's

[eclipsefwd]

For starters I have a 91 TSI with a big 16g , 550's, FMIC, S-AFC2 and other supporting mods.Well for 3 track visits in a row I kept on getting 13.06 @ 106.5 time slips at 16 lbs of boost. I started getting kinda mad cause I knew it was my driving holding me back. I was cutting 1.750 60 foot times but my shifting was real slow(tranny nedds a rebuild). So I went to the track this weekend and was determined to break 12's. I turned the boost to 17lbs and shifted faster than normal(If ya can't find em grind em). I ran a 12.910 @ 106.83 with a terrible 1.868 60 foot time. I think with a better launch and faster shifting I could possible see 12.6-12.7. I will see this weekend. Oh yeah this was all done on 94 octane.

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. Thats a good ET considering the 60'. A better 60' and maybe 18PSI should get you near the 12.60 mark.
