Well we finally got the old hag to the track for the first time in its life.
Other then being VERY humid and ripping the dr's off the rims it ran great.
Couldn't get but 1lb of boost stalling up and tires went to hell.
First run: 13.30 because we tried leaving it in 2nd gear figuring with the 3.07's (what we were told by Tasca) would have been sweet right at 6800 r's through the traps.
Well guess what?
It has 3.55's and it bounced off the rev limiter for the last 150 feet!
Still went 101 on that run with a 2.01 60ft.
Second run was done right after a major oil down (there were two of them last night) and she went 13.08 @102 and change.
Third run it was still losing traction but managed a 1.85 60ft with a 12.97 @ 103.9!!
All the runs were in drive with crap plugs.
The next time out it will have genuine slicks at 8lbs pressure and I will try manually shifting it because the shifts in drive were bone stuck slush box crap!
The car has 12 and half in it all day long if not better.
On the way there and back we got 26.4 mpg.
Here's some shots:
