5432, 14.332@95.77 NA How low can we go?
Posted by bullettdsm, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Well, just ran last night at E-town. Way too crowded, disorganized. Should have been just a Mitsu day. But still had fun and met a LOT of new DSMer's from lots of different groups. 3 runs.
First run, we had no warning. They came to us in staging and said "You're up". Car was cold (170* coolant instead of 195* normally). Heard a valve pop in 2nd gear. NEVER should run cold! That's how you break shit! Got lucky didn't drop the valve and ran a 14.394.
2nd run: 14.558. I got nervous about my buddy's tranny (that I borrowed) so I lifted on my 2-3 shift. Yeah, No lift makes a difference.
3rd run: It had gotten so late that I didn't care about winning my bracket race. I had dialed a 14.45 but said F*** it and ran it like it was a test and tune. Obviously broke out with a 14.332@95.77. That was with a 2.0 launch. Pretty cool numbers, heh heh.
From what I'm seeing, it looks like my top out with the current set-up is going to be in the 14.2's (she was actually not feeling all that good that day. Just didn't "feel" proper. I think it was either too cold for those plugs or I should have changed my plug gap). I now know what launch I want (it's a modification of my RWD launch). But I am out of time to work it. I may try again, one more time this year, but I think I'm going to hibernate and come out with some new surprise next year.
Hey, it's been fun.

I thought team Cambodia was hitting low 12's.....
just playing. That is amazing. It won't be long before you are 13's. Just as long as you don't stop now and give everyone something to keep going after. :)

Yeah, I hear those guys got some kind of V-tec thing going :thumbsup
Tough competition!
Thanks, 420a-Tnt, you've supported me all along with great enthusiasm, love it. I'm just hoping that this will instill confidence in others to follow. You just gotta mix a little old school with a little new school.
