Well the time finally came to take the car to the track. Earlier in the week, the car started missing during wot pulls on the street so I ordered some new plugs at the local parts store that I work at, well the inventory at the warehouse was wrong and I didnt notice til my plugs still were not there by Thursday night and had to reorder from a different warehouse that was out of state, which meant I would not get the plugs til Saturday around 1:30pm. the track is an hour away and was open from 12:00-5:00. I decided to try my luck and see if maybe the plugs would magically clean up on their own:rollseyes. Needless to say the first pass was horrible due to the ignition breaking up so badly. Luckily my brother decided to come watch and agreed to wait on the plugs and bring them to me. By the time I got them, gapped them, and installed them, it was 3:00, which left me 2 hours left. I immediately noticed the difference in the water box. Much cleaner sound and feel. Pull up to the line and the damn 2 step wouldnt activate:fm:. Out of aggrevation, I just launched it at a really high rpm. Spun through first, short shifted to 2nd and just made casual shifts through the quarter. Very shocked to see the time slip netted a 10.4@140mph. Very happy since this was running on the wastegate(10psi):rockon: I get back to the pits and tried the 2 step 3 or 4 times. Worked every time. Hmmm, maybe I was doing something wrong on the starting line....Got back to the line and once again, no 2 step. Repeated a 10.4@142mph(loving the traps). Back in the pits and the 2 step is working again. At this point I am getting frustrated. Back to the line, HEY the 2 step actually worked, spun a little but pedaled just a little, granny shifted the next couple gears and netted me a 10.19@139mph.:beer: I believe the mph was down due to hot lapping the car. I had time for one more pass. Once again the 2 step did not work so I had a crappy launch and went 10.3@141mph. Considering the bugs I needed to work out, Im pretty happy with my first trip. I have a boost leash boost controller on the way and believe thew 2 step is just a bad connection. I will have every thing lined out for the next trip and ready to blow the hinges off that 9 second barrier when I turn the boost up and actually shift this thing like I should.
Here are a couple of the slips and vids.
