first pass Friday: I pull into the water box. get tires spinning and as I pull out the car shuts off. I had no clue what happened but thought I blew a coupler off. idk why. but had them push me back. popped hood. everything looked fine. fired right up and drove it back tot he pit to diagnose. bummer cause you only get two passes a day. I just wasted one. 2nd pass. drive around water box figuring im gonna just ease it down to get some actual data beside my street driving. walk into he throttle and before the 60 car goes limp. 2nd pass. a bust. at this point I realize my tune is way off. tuning with no ice in the tank makes a big diff in required fuel. lesson learned. I throw ice in the tank and drive it to the airbnb for the night. on the highway I datalog and jump on it a couple times and adjust the fueling hoping for better results Saturday.

second pass Saturday. I was feeling more confident in the car but still didn't want to break the puny driveshaft or the gears so I planned to roll into it again but a lot sooner than the first pass lol. well the duster I ran mad that easy. he jumped out on me and my foot got heavy real quick. ca ran decent. more data. 12 second street car! same timing same boost.

https://youtu.be/m_8ZQwaizP8 New personal best. Same boost since the first time out. 6lbs. After reviewing logs I’m not even leaving in boost. Next time I make it to the track I think I’m going to leave the tune up the same and focus on cutting down the 60. I’m sure theirs some et to be found in doing so. Anyways. Hope you all enjoy!
