Default Street tires and pump gas....

Well went to the track to try to get a new best. The car has been running pretty good on pump (94 octane) gas lately so I thought I would see what I could do. Since the last time at the track I added a full exhaust and muffler and switched to 225/50/15 BFG G-Forces from 205/50/15. Ran the tires at about 15psi and launched at 5100 on the 2step. My best run of the night was 11.881 @ 126.10 with a 1.975 60'. This was on 17-18psi of boost. And yes the car is still full interior and daily driven and also minus the CF hood. The cold weather has been messing with my car lately so I had to tune it on the "butt dyno" on the way to the track. Since it was a 45min drive I had plenty of time to tune hehe. Only aid was an EGT gauge. Looks like it might be time for full slicks and 30psi of boost!

Hehe, damn nice time!

It sure seems like those BFG's grip like a ****! Looks like I might have to try out a set one of these days.
