My first time ever at a 1/4 mile track was July 24th, 2013, and I ran a 16.4 with the car in the condition I bought it in (basically stock and not running great, not bad, but not great).
Since then, I've done a ton of maintenance getting the car back to good mechanical order and making some much needed upgrades, including a new exhaust, ECMLink, MBC and a few other things.
Today was the last day at Bandimere in Denver, CO, and I wanted to get some tuning done in ECMLink (mostly just going through and adjusting timing to remove knock, which is all I really know how to do at the moment
).
My first run was 15.1 at 11 psi. Second run was 16.3 (missed second gear
opps). Turned the boost gauge up to 14psi and ran a 14.6, almost 2 seconds faster than before with just some basic maintenance and mods! I got one more run in before it started to rain and ran a 14.9.
I'm very stoked, I don't even have my injectors, fuel pump, AFPR or FMIC installed yet.
And my weight is looking good (see pics) and I still had my spare tire, tools, 10" sub, box and amp in the car. Gotta have tunes when you're racing.
I've been wanting to weigh my car, and I had no idea they had a scale there I just about drove past it on my last run (see end of video) My goal is to get to 2950 by this time next year.
