Message	upgraded turbo list (I'm on the left): For some reason (I am guessing too big of a gap in the spark plugs right now, will know tomorrow for sure), the car was cutting out on me above 5500 rpm in 3rd gear, so acceleration pretty much stopped there. I was pretty happy w/ the 60' and 1/8 mile times, since my previous best 1.8 mile time was a 7.89 @ 92.16 Friday night at the local 1/8 mile dragstrip. It just sucks that I have to drive 100+ miles to get to a 1/4 mile dragstrip. Hopefully I can hit it up again soon after figuring out why it decided to cut out and land a more secure spot in the 11.7 second vicinity. I bet the Mustang driver in the right lane was a little confused when he looked at his slip - he treed me by .75 seconds, was a half mile an hour faster, and yet I crossed the lights .23 seconds faster. ;-) BTW, I was running on my newly re-acquired 26x10.5x16 MT ET Streets mounted on rear OEM TT wheels. I think I can definitely get the 60' down a bit more, as this was only my 6th run on the tires after a 3 year hiatus. The car was full street weight, including the spare tire, etc. The only thing I removed was my speaker box, since it likes to flop around under hard driving. Rule #1 - There's always a bastard! JRH(KY): for some reason, when I hear the word 'tranny' I think of transvestite before I do transmission. don't ask me why boileralum: FAGMO! ----------------------------------------- Bill (ImTheDevil): blah blah blah me: Just because you are covered in gasoline right now, doesn't mean you are right! ----------------------------------------- JRH (KY): I'm also using up a weekend this month for Indy and a weekend next month for the USGP. Throw in our trip to PA and GF is getting tired of my car habit. Boy I'm going to miss her :-D
