I went today for the trophy marathon, I was kinda nervous and excited at the same time.

well I removed my spare tire lol like that did alot. then i lowered my tire presure to 20lbs on the front and 35 on the back. first two runs where time trials.

well my first run was horrible i hit 14.5 so i was like bleh first run so what. then the second run i ran a 14.7 when i shifted to second my hand slipped of the shifter so that sucked.

then first round started I went against a domestic, i forget what it was but i didnt know this dude dialed in at 11.56 so i get the head start and near the end i start seeing this dude catch up, but i won... and i ran a 14.55 so i was pretty annoyed cuz i was screwing up so many times. so i waited for the next race my dial in was at 14.50 my friend was like i want to see you hit 13s so i was like sure.... then at this run it was almost perfect and i ran a 14.142 so i was kinda excited now i am getting closer to 13s.
after this race i was like ok this next one i will focking hit 13s!
my dial in was 14.1 and i hit 13.97 i broke out so the other dude won.

last race was funny i was going against some domestic and his dial in was 16.48 and mine was 13.97 i already accomplished my goal and i wanted to take home a trophy and go for my third win. so he gets the head start and then it was my turn.... at this point my RPM just went right straight to 7K and i was liek the hell, so i let off on the gas and shifted to second, the same thing happend then i started smelling something, i was like **** there goes the turbo or my engine, so i just shifted normal and cruised passed the finish line. i was pissed cuz i saw the guy just leave me... I get my time slip and look at the times and he runs a 16.63 then i read his RT and it said .442! i was like WOAH then i looked at the bottom and it said I won. with 21.109! lol

well i called the person who installed my turbo and told him what happend, he said i fried my clutch... = ) Now i am gonna get my ACT

Hey great runs! First time at the track or no? If it was, were you shivering like crazy? I always am.. lol. So, what's your setup? What size turbo? I know it's probably a T04E/T3 but do you know the A/R's and trim size? What size tires/rims were you running with? I'm curious cuz a friend of mine is looking at RH and he's got an LS too.

well the first couple rusn i didnt know i was running only 6 lbs, then i set it to 9.

this was the second time, the first time i went my best was 14.3 i had also better RT the first time i went.
yeah its a T3/T04E turbonetics, ummm whats A/R? i was running 16's Speedline Rims Front tires Yoko A520 and Rear Nitto 450. Private message me for more info.

DR. ON POINT

u should be running constant 13's....do be happy by breaking in the13's be mad and want to go faster

97integraLST

= ( i wish i could go faster, but my clutch is toasted

What was your highest mph of the day? An ls with a really good driver and about 8 psi of boost u can hit 12's. Keep practicing, u will get a lot faster.

DR. ON POINT

i dont think 8 punds of boost...maybe 10 to 1...either way 12's are very capable

"Going fast at a track is cool

Going fast on the street leads to hitting minivans and killing kids and their moms"...my advice for the day

97integraLST

fastest was 101.28mph thats when i ran a 14.553


Took the advice you guys gave me, lowered the tire presure and all and i improved= ) thanks.
