Island dragway, wednesday night
Pretty nice day for drag racing, beautiful weather and good prep at island. We rolled out to island dragway from the dyno, i was driving corey's civic, he said he would pay for me to race it hahah. Wes, Costas, Ryan, and Corey went, and we met up with Pete, Dave, and Dave. Everyone did pretty good today considering no one broke anything. I beat corey's civic so bad that the check engine light came on hahhaha. Corey ran an 11.0 @ 124 blower only today, so the car is running amazing! Ryan was running low 11s, subject to the boost only hitting 8psi, we are going to try a different boost controller setup. The AEM one is just being a pain in the ass, works great on the street for a day of tuning, take it to the track and the damn thing doesnt do what you want, getting old.
Costas's car didnt seem to be pulling as hard as it should, but he decided to pull out early and call it a day, later on we found out that it was running a bit lean. Wes ran an 11.8 today, he is going to try to regularly visit the track to get better, and wants to put in a solid rear and really cut his times down.
I was just beating the shit out of the civic today, burnouts in the burnout box in 2nd gear for no reason on street tires, other than to watch the smoke show... I missed a few gears on some of the runs, weither or not i did that on purpose is for you to decide hahah. I ran a best of 16.4 @ 84mph not too bad for 120whp and a 2.3 60ft. The car STANK like tires and clutch so bad even at the end of the day and after the long ride back from the track it still wreaked! Here are some videos and pics from today.
