Default Got one pass in tonight.... sigh

So what looked like a perfect day for the track was not so much... Started spitting on the way out and was very overcast... Figured I would go and see how it played out... Barely let the car cool when I got there as the track was filling up and skies weren't looking so good so I decided to make a pass... Then while waiting for another pass someone lost their tranny at the 330 through 1/8 mile so that took 45 minutes to cleanup... then it started to sprinkle again so we waited... then someone busted again, sigh... It started to drizzle again as they were cleaning up and it was already 8ish and they said they were going to wait and see if it would pass and they could dry the track and just do the bracket race... My guess is it was 1+ hour before we would run again best case scenario so I bailed...

1.7280 60ft
5.1132 330ft
7.8762 1/8 et
89.40 1/8 mph
10.2451 1000ft
12.2387 1/4 et
114.88 1/4 mph

Great 60ft time... car shifted fine... little slow on the big end... Very dissappointing ET! Car felt strong so not sure what happened... logs look fine...

My weather station showed a DA of 2200ish... dragtimes has 2000ish...

IAT's were 58.4C on average with a min of 49.5C and a max of 65.25 The data shows a much tighter spread and much lower IAT's compared to my last time out... granted it was around 80 that day vs 67 today when I made the pass...

Saw avg boost of 12.95 on the run with no bypass... peak was 14.05... Last time out avg boost was 12.81 and a peak of 13.95...

Little dissappointed but will give it another shot next week or whenever the weather allows... There is a big event and I have stuff going on this Sat. I don't think it had an 11 in it tonight to be honest... Probably a 12.0x with a nice cool down and 1700ish DA... Have a track day at Nelson's Ledges on the 30th so will get to test the car on some turns!

Here is the gopro vid... my brother didn't come so I don't have an out of car vid...

Yes they are... At some point I guess I need to eliminate that variable... Really going to be pissed if I spend 2K on headers and 2K or so on install and don't net much of anything... The vid Rich posted has me more optimistic but I would really like some pre/post dynos or even better strip times... I'm getting close though... Next step is either headers or port the blower finally... Leaning towards the port...

Can you gut the LFCs? Hopefully, they could be removed & replaced more easily than the stocks cats?

Yeah get one for sure... it helps tell you so much about what is going on with the car... easy to use... Yeah today is low 50's with low humidity and high bp... DA is 800 at the track... grrr...

Been thinking about gutting them lately... Want to go longtubes but waiting for a little more data to come out... Now that APR is willing to kill the cel gutting is what I will most likely start with... Yes I am 99% sure I can get the current cats off w/o moving the motor... definetly need a lift though... hopefully none of the studs will brake like on the stockers... If I wanted to go back to stock I would have to drop the motor because of the size and lt's require a removal of the motor... Also, don't have the stockers...
