Hey guys, after all the troubles with my engine and the blood,sweat, and tears...I managed to get everything done and drove my car 175miles north to Sacramento for CMI (North vs South) Event.

I am currently running a stock 14b turbo (GT30R will be installed after 1000 miles on the engine) so I was aiming on running mid 13s at the track...well I was amazed to have ran a 12.69@108mph!!! Holy @$%## batman!! I was so surprised when I got the slip, at first I thought they gave me the wrong one, LOL...

It was an awesome feeling that all the hard work finally paid off and the results were much higher than what I expected.

1st run: [email protected]
2nd run: [email protected]
3rd run: [email protected]
4th run: [email protected] (let off the throttle...eliminations had started, I won by 1/8 mile, LOL
5th run: [email protected] :thumb:
6th run: [email protected] (bogged launch, 60ft was 1.97:notgood: )



The car has a little thing that is bugging me, although I don't know if its real knock or phantom knock...basically the car spikes to 9 counts of knock went I shift (while cruising) according to the datalogger.

I have the datalogger in the car...hopefully the batteries didn't die...### they always seem to die when I need the logger the most.

The thing is that those 9 counts of knock are there with or without the water injection, that's why I think it might be phantom knock...my car vibrates a lot when I am cruising. But I will post them up soon, thanks!

Check your connections to Knock sensor, 9 count is default to no knock sensor detected.

thumbs down on the 1.97 sec 60 foot time? you AWD guys suck!LOL. man i have to get rid of the fwd now!! i would kill for that.


well when I compare that to the other runs, a 1.97 60ft is nothing.

My other 60ft times were: 1.77, 1.74, 1.79, 1.72, 1.77, and 1.97

Oh yeah and I did all this with some Eibach 2" drop springs and BLOWN STOCK SHOCKS!WTF

I am pretty sure that if I had some aftermarket shocks, I could have pulled some 1.6x 60-foots. Oh well maybe next time.
