    New best in the Focus

    Mixed feelings on the evening, but overall I'm happy with the night.
    Best ET 14.11, best mph 100.92.
    Previous best with IHI turbo and different tune 14.74 @ 95.97.
    60' times were around 2.35.

    A gain of 5mph and breaking the 100mph mark is good to see, but I'd really like to see that 13.xx on a timeslip.

    I don't think I can do any better on these all-season radials.
    I also need to do some work on the turbine side of the turbo to open it up a bit.
    Redline is 7K but I had to shift at 6,200 RPM due to the turbo being choked and not producing more power.

    I think it has 13.5 @ 103mph it in but will take drag radials.

    Bob, great to finally meet you.
    Sorry we didn't get to chat much.
    I was still "in the zone" after my run and all I could think about at that moment was what I could improve on.

    Hey Mark, great to meet you too ... That is why I like to go occasionally just to hang out. Otherwise I'm too distracted to talk much to anyone if I'm messing with my junk.

    We was cheering for you when the 100 mph popped up! Knew that was a goal for you. For sure traction isnt your friend ;) Congrats on getting one of your goals anyway!

    Didn't get to meet you (only got there at 10pm) but I watched a run or two and I was impressed. Nice little sleeper you got there!
