VIII looking for 8s
Just thought I would add another 13 second Gen 2 to the NA list. 
So, I'll start out with the bad. Arrgh. This tune is still full of fail and I am to the point now where I need to just get it on the dyno and have the transmission parameters done right. So, with the exception of the first two runs, I manually shifted the car which seem to keep the car from falling flat on its face a little less anyways. Magically, when I did it that way, my trap speed went up by 2-3 mph which made a difference on my ETs.
Maybe someone can explain this one to me, but I just cannot seem to crack a sub 2.0 60'. Pretty much all my 60s are 2.0x
When we left the track, it was unseasonably hot at 84 degrees and once it got close to 80 degrees my times were pretty much 14.1s the entire time. While this may be disappointing to me at first, I had to think about it for a second. Last year, we had a hot track day just like this in the 80s. I was running mid 14s. So, considering, the car has definitely gotten faster when considering the conditions. I would say 3-4 tenths faster. I had a couple 13.9s when it was 79 degrees out. Never saw a 13 again after my thermometer read 80.
Anyhow, if the weather turns cold next weekend, I plan to hit it again. If we can get some temperatures in the 60s, I see the possibility of a 13.6 I'm going all out and aiming for 13.5 though.
Here is my 13.788 run. It was 76 degrees out.

Here is a 13.976 run up against my buddy Dan in his bracket car.
