:burnout: Well I did it. Friend of mine and I DROVE my car from central CT, to upstate NY to Lebanon Valley Dragway. Although it was bone dry, track officials said a storm front was coming through and canceled the days events. So I did what any nutcase would do; I drove three hours to New Hampshire to New England Dragway. :D Nice track, first time there.
Made three passes only due to a time crunch, and the first was the 11.911 @ 116.92. :D Car had no cool down time, and had two more flat 12.0's back to back. I'm still tickling the 1-2 rev limiter, because the adjust options function on my Xcal3 seems to have disappeared. WTF. Oh well, I'll figure it out.
Anyways, thought I'd share. :) Big thanks to RacerX (Bill) for helping me prep the car, and to SMOKE (Jonathan) for pushing me to get my new numbers.

No, didn't try flashing the TC, as I still have a problem completely understanding it. I knew I only had three passes or so, so I kept it simple.
With that MPH I should be closer to 11.7's. If I get full blown slicks and fix my rev limiter problem I will get there.
Love this kit. Drove 270 miles, pulled an 11, drove home.

Giving up isn't something I comprehend too easily. When I got home I realized that I put 523 miles on her just to click an eleven. :D

First page too, nice Paul! I'm glad you pushed on to come up here and take a shot. It was the perfect day for it too! :beer: Congrats again! Definitely talk to Dennis to see if he can add some adjustment features back to the tune that allow you to change a few things that aren't a danger to the engine.

Be careful dude. When that check engine light comes on, pay attention. :(

Regardless, nice times! :burnout:

Seriously, you need to go on Drag Week next year. You clearly have what it takes to drive, drag, and drive some more.

Hey Paul! I doubt it. I have the SCT PRP on it's way to me from DR and I'm getting her dialed in. I have 39#rs and a 90mm maf going in this week. Kinda pissed at my local tuner. I shouldn't be because I get free dyno time, but, he's had chick probs lately and I realized when he dynoed my car with the new engine, the A/F was way off and he did nothing, just threw it on and gave me the sheet. Ah well. I'm finding hidden power without the N2O and she's running the best ever! Good luck and have fun Paul! We'll meet again! Don't be suprised if I keep up with or pull on you though! :D
