Convinced Chris to come to the track tonight with a couple of guys. Got there and got the car teched in. Of course his battery cutoff wasn't working. They let him go anyway. Well we had no laptop, so the car was what it was. All we could do was turn up the boost. This was a pump gas tune he has been road racing with all year. Car needs another dial in session as he has a new intake maifold on the car. But it was close so we went for it. First pass he was just off the studder box. Made 0psi with the 2 step. Obviously he lost major vacuum with the FRH intake. He made 8psi before. Car was slow out of the whole. I think he missed a gear and hit the rev limiter in another gear. He ran 13.5@109.
Second pass he hit the rev limiter again and ran 13.3 @106 I think. Third pass was similar to the second. I knew we had to turn the antilag on. So I found another local who was running dsmlink and asked to borrow the computer. I made Chris wait until we got the laptop. 4th pass he missed second and ran another 13. On the 5th pass he nailed the launch and 1-2 shift. But hit the rev limiter in 4th and ran a 12.7@110 or so.
After this pass his wife was ready to go. She is 3 months pregnant and has no energy. They were all but ready to go when I begged and pleaded with her to let him go one more time. We turned the boost up a little and let him go. Mind you no changes to the tune all night. The boost was around 22psi on this last pass. Pump gas mind you. 5800ft above sea level. I told him not to worry about what the wideband was reading, what the boost gauge said and just drive the car and not hit the rev limiter.
He nails the launch. Nails the 1-2 shift. Nails the 2-3 shift. Shifts a little early, but nails it. Shifts early for the 3-4, nails it. Then the scoreboard lights up.
12.5@115
A new personal best for Chris. To give you an idea how bad a driver Chris is(just kidding) another friend of mine ran 11.9@114. So with a little more seat time and some minor tweaking and Chris will run and 11 on pump gas at 5800ft.
Congradulations Chris.
