Well it was a nice night, didn't know if those mustang people showed up considering it was mustang shootout and there were a million of them, but I saw that "QUICK TA" car..

looked nice, had some meaty tires out back, didn't see it run though..

I couldn't break into the 8's ran four 9.1's at 78 back to back..

Oh hey didn't know who from here was there, but yea I was expecting 8's, have never run them before, but guess I didn't have what it takes :\ ran like 4 9.1's at 78.xx mph

I am tuned very rich b/c I am a pussy on only 7 psi.. I datalogged it(or according to some of the spectators that didn't know the first thing about cars, I was playing solitaire on the laptop) and I was around the tune of 11.2 AFR on the average.. that and I was runnin 35 psi on my street tires, 2.3 60 ft's haha..

I got pissed when I saw a mustang GT run a 9 flat at like 70.3 mph haha.. Enough of the excuses though, I just couldn't get in the 8's, maybe next time I will have it tuned a bit better and lower tire pressure to like 20ish, maybe even turn up the boost for one run..

There was also a nice baby blue hatch there, talked to the guys for a few.. he was runnin 10 psi on a stock gsr motor, he was havin traction problems as well, ran like 9 flat at like 82 mph with like a 2.6 60 ft lol, he had no traction, nice car though

My g/f's car was the sliver 3g eclipse that was loud as balls, it had a cutout hehe, and it really affected the torque curve so it was hard to launch, either bogged or burned out, hard to get used to, but we could only get a 9.8 with a 2.5 60 ft, I know it has a 9.5 in it..

I just got new ones, my old ones were some shitty no name brand tires haha..

Now I have BFG G-Force Sports, they grip pretty good, don't even spin from a roll, but from a stop is a different story..

I have a 2 step rev limiter, I think I just needed to lower the tire pressure to like 20 or so.. I lowered it one run but didn't have a gauge, and after I decided that was enough someone let me use their gauge and I only lowered it to 35 psi(had it like 40) lol..

And since the track I actually got an air filter, an Uni pod filter, some people on the honda-tech forums said they picked up some hp with these filters compared to mesh door screen over the turbo like I had, because of the huge difference in surface area, and I had doubled up on mesh screen haha..

ahh excuses excuses..

2002BLGT what is up with you hahaha
