Yeah, ran her at LVD. Too bad the Shoot Out got cancelled 'cause I would have done it there with a lower time (better track). First run. That's usually a slow run. Unfortunately, I broke on the second run. Shifted into second and got nothing. Got her stuck in third and still ran a 14.711 @ 97.26, hehe. Smoked my clutch getting her back on the car trailer.

Ran with the OBX intake on but didn't change the tune, so it really didn't matter. Can't wait to get a real intake on there and get her tuned. I probably need a better exhaust header, as well.

So now we're in the 13.8's.

Damn Mark, you continue to amaze. Quicker et with a lower trap speed. I can't wait to watch you run at mitsu day. Is this with the obx intake or the stocker?

oops totally missed that

Thanks Corey. I'm hoping to have a nice intake and good tune on her by Mitsu Day. But it's coming up quick so I hope the intake that's being made is here soon so I can find time to tune. I couldn't even street tune with the OBX because it was raining the night I put it on and I was racing the next night. You could see from my trap time, I didn't seem to gain top end. But, as I said, the first run all parts aren't warmed up and loosey-goosey, so I wish I could have gotten in the second run.

It's funny how now I drop her a tenth and it doesn't mean so much because I know I got a lot more to pull out of the engine.

I know what you mean, I'm not gonna get a chance to pull my head until labor day b/c I'm in Florida until next weekend for work :( Then I gotta decide whether I'm gonna have someone fix the head for me and replace the valves (which I'm still pretty much just assuming are bent) or pull the one off the new avenger at the local junk yard have it checked out and then put it on.

But isn't it nice to know there's a lot more in it ;)

Mark, you are my hero. That's beyond awesome.

Announcing this thread. Hope for others...

I couldn't agree more. FINALLY a 2gnt has reached the 13s!

Fucking great work Mark!

Well done, sorry to hear about the damage. Best of luck.

Wow congrats man :bowdown

Um.....geez, I don't know what to say, guys. Thanks for the kudos. I mean I basically stole all of Brian's ideas anyway :cheers .

Seriously, appreciate the support guys. It does help to keep me going. I am hoping it helps others to keep their cars going.

The stuff I'm looking at next is going to hopefully help the turbo guys also. I thought I finally got someone to make an intake (I have three locals who all want to do it - for nothing - and that's what I have gotten. Nothing). I found a very talented guy who has done numerous other intakes and his work is very, very good. Unfortunately, I haven't heard from him in a little while and I'm wondering if he is going to work out like my other "buddies".

Then the LTH; I've got a plan and dimensions etc. but haven't found the right people to make it up.

Eh, oh well, in time. And Driggs, 12's? Now your really dreamin' (but I said that to you about 13's also ;-))

Thanks again.

Keep it up and you'll break 12's.

Congrats.

Mark, you should check that out for ideas. I know it is pretty expensive, but this might give you another idea or two for an intake setup. I'm only posting this because the guy has quite a few pictures of this.

nice job capt- keep up the good work and you need to be signed in for the link to work :(

is it finially time for a 2gnt to recive some itb's?

That's fucking amazing.

GREAT JOB! I'd like to see a video of that run!

Nice to hear you are continuing to have success running all motor. Gives me hope for the rest of the season.

Yeah, so would I! You know how it is. I made a last minute decision to shoot down to the track. There's a group of us that go there, but we're all racing :shrug .

Thanks for the kind words guys. And as for ITB's, they are in my head but I'm not so sure that they will help me all that much. But I'm still working on my air flow with the intake and LTH.

Well I'm guessing the odds are my car won't be making it to Mitsu Day, but I've got a good camera to bring ;) And if my car does make it, I'm planning on bringing my brother to film. Either that or I'm sure oldman from tuners won't be running b/c he always says he's going to and never does, so I'll get him to film. :P

All of a sudden, My car doesn't feel as slow anymore lol.
Great job. Keep it up.

cool man

congrads man!

Have I ever told you that you're my idol?

Thats funny. Still ran pretty good just tossing it in third haha
