Best 1/8 ET: 8.273 - Best 1/8 MPH: 86.907
Best 1/4 ET: 13.100 - Best 1/4 MPH: 111.24
Here are my time-slips in reverse chronological order:
3/10/99 - Sears Point Raceway (Sonoma, CA) - ~50deg F
- Fan-switch cooling the car off between runs
- Timing retard is set at 0 degree/lb of boost
- ~3 gallons of Chevron 92 mixed with 3 gallons of Sunoco 104
- Borla is running wide open
- Mickey Thompson ET Streets at 12psi
- Knock sensor bypassed and using stock 95 PCM (with 5800rpm rev-limit)
- Not allowed into the waterbox since Sears Point considers ET Streets to be a street tire, so just doing sideways/creeping dry burnouts :(
