Try NYI again tonight? I want to get the car back there and see how much I picked up over running bone stock last year. ---

I’m heading out tonight… It’s a moms night so prep will be perfect, but you will be waiting a lot… I think the moms scene is dying out a lot though so it might not be too bad. We’ll see. ---

That is from the other week when I ran it. 9.3 that pass I think. - - - Updated - - - I still haven’t driven it since the new converter went in a few weeks ago. Might hit the track Friday. ---

So finally made some time to get to the track again. I gave the car to RJ Profab to have a look over the rear suspension. He made the tubs a little bigger, lowered it a few inches, set proper drivetrain angles, and remounted the shocks. Went to the track anddd Warmup pass didnt hit it too hard = 9.1 nit bad 2nd pass = 8.85 @ 153.5 After I beat my goal of the day I just enjoyed watching and being able to bring the car home under its own power. I do think there is a lot on the table still so I will make another outing in a few weeks seeing how close I can get to 8.5 Also for some data this was 20-21psi and it looks like ive outgrown my $200 ebay IC IATs went from 90\* to 196\* during the pass. ---
