Seattle drag: October 5th @Pacific Raceways

-1200 was the da on 91 pump

If we ran in the morning when the air was still good, I would have easily gone faster. Not to mention no hot lapping.

I gain at least +25whp when the O2 sensors are hot.

Good luck dude! Stellar conditions… Keep us posted! Have a very good feeling that your times are gonna be good…

12.2 was stage 1

First one on the track. Launch control and spun like crazy.

They fucked around all morning with the track and didn’t start until 10:15, and now the da is +122.

In other news, one of the co owners of amd is here with his b5 a4. Not Jason, heavier guy.

He said their dyno is broken and has to do laptop tuning on the street/track. Also said that the high pressure kit for the rs4 is “very close.” So close that they started an s5 kit lol

Did you run 11.9 or 13?

Also how is the high boost kit close? They have been selling it for weeks. Does he mean they started over once jhm crushed their time?

I was going to post “Congrats on 13.7”… lol. The pic he posted has him as car 830 so I’m guessing he ran the 11.9

Finally broke into the 1.6x

Very close? Meaning they actually finalized the tune that was on it for 2 days before they ran the car…lol

I wonder how high of a “pressure” that kit is running and when they will go for glory…boom

I’m also on my all Michelin all seasons. It’s also really crowded. I’ll do one more and then leave. I miss wed night drags and hot lapping.

good to get into the elevens though. Right in the meat of where all the GIAC guys are on race.

Stick around for a while you never know it might clear out and you may post something awesome.

Ok that’s a huge difference (the DA)

I would stick around, but I’m on daddy duty this afternoon. I know it has 11.8x in it, gonna have to be in the spring.

Boom! Congrats on breaking into the 11’s… That’s awesome! First B8.5, no? Did you use LC on the 1.69 pass? Traps a little lower than I expected… Any vids especially a gopro? Want to see how/when the car shifts… I assume you are still in 4th going through the traps?

Yes on lc. I have vids of the runs, I upload tonight.

Thanks! Look forward to the vids… Wonder how the car would do w/o LC?

that’s awesome well_armed…another car in the 11s. I love it…with the big-geared B8.5, looks like youre barely at 6000 rpm at the traps, no wonder your mph is lower than most. Launch control is strange to me, looks very tame. Very curious what your car will do without it.

From looking at countless logs, the hot lapping really helps the IM stay cool, more than anything else. IATs stay in the 30s or 40s at launch, and on average run 10 degrees cooler throughout the run.

Congrats!

Congrats on breaking into the 11s! Good stuff.
