    It’s still hard to believe to be honest. I’m not the first to do it, but it’s pretty rare space in the 2.3 world, especially with a stick.

    Showed up in my memories thing that 7 years ago I went 10.99 ... long road from that to mid 9’s

    was cleaning the garage tonight and found my dial in board ... felt a little odd

    yeah, except I’m usually more calculating and sneak up on things, lol .... I knew the new turbine housing would wake things up, had no idea it would respond that hard.

    Managed to get my gears swapped Friday. A little strange to take gear out of my car, not a big change from 4.30 to 4.10, but still gear out.

    hoping to be able to test this weekend. This rain has been murder.

    Went testing at Quaker City on Saturday ... 4.10 rear gear, boost turned down for my 10.00 tuneup. Car went 9.94 leaving soft and smooth (1.40 60’) ... so happy with how the car responds now.

    That was a nice and smooth launch for a 9.90 run! That’s a lot easier on parts!

    yes, couldn’t be happier with that right now. That was mostly the point of what I’ve been chasing, to be able to run 9.9x without ringing its neck. Seems to be close.

    don’t hold your breath,lol. Several issues with my car on a dyno now. First, I would need to crank up the base pressure on the clutch to start, even then not sure how the disc will like how the dyno loads. The other potential issue is transmission. The G101a is a wonderful box, but it’s scary how little fluid it has in it (less that 1 1/2 quarts). The entire rear of the transmission counts on movement to get the fluid back there. I’ve been told that with the fluid I run, and after it’s well broke in it would be ok for a few pulls, but G Force says don’t do it.

    I use an App to log my passes and it does some predictive stuff plus all the splits, but also shows power calculated. These feel pretty right to me
