It took me a whole year to safely achieve this.
And for some background, I used to fill carburetor jets with solder and drill them out with wire gauge bits to tune my ****. For decades, you met me, I am old.
Terrible!
I think I hit my boost limiter about a dozen times even though I only ran 6 times.
I did get to meet a fellow Mt.netter and found out one of the racers is my neighbor.
I will get my EBC sorted before next week, the last Wednesday night drag of the season.
This thing ran a low 12 at 130 something.
It got beat by that old Dart.
They should run high 12's like me and I am sure Vlad would whoop my ***. However it takes a skilled driver to achieve that and most run flat 13's unless they're boosted somehow. Then they are insane, even the 4cyl ecoboosts.

Reason: Drunken typo
You can stay Tuesday night or Wednesday night or both
But yeah, I won't have a chance after that.
Not with that attitude you won't. Slicks, MS3 traction control, and MOAR BOOST and you might have a fighting chance. Also just wait 2 weeks and 18PSI will have sold it so you will be good then.
Last Wednesday night drags this season.
No improvement but I got my EBC working properly again. There should be some improvements next year as I plan to work on my list.
Won't be posting here until March unless I happen to do a dyno before then. Check my build thread for updates until then the 99 MK Turbo beta test.
The Ferrari has been here for the last 3 weeks, finally running high 11's.
I'm gonna miss this place.
34.5 miles of 1/4 mile on this thing, 16.5k total boosted miles so far.
Not so great today but I almost have the medium turbo dialed in. This place is great for tuning.
Unfortunately I didn't hear my class called for the last race, easy to do at weekend events and I was winning. The next pass would have been better too as I almost have it right. I should have just waited for Wednesday night drags.
Oh well got to rip down the 1/4 a few times, always fun.
My best time was 13.39 @ 104 so pretty slow, I do think this turbo has the potential for 12's. I just need a few more passes to get my tune there.
An interesting old Celica, I think he was running 10's
Another pretty crappy day, don't get me wrong, still the best $25 I ever spent, and I had a great time.
Only got 3 runs, and I must have rolled back on the 2nd pass, cuz I got a blank timeslip. 13.2 @ 105 so still pretty slow, can't seem to wake up this week with daylight savings time. There was finally another turbo miata and a stupidcharged one too but they were both pretty slow, no one I knew.
Here is the little white one's engine bay.
See you guys next week, should have my tune nailed by then. Mid 12's before 11's.
tell him his rad hose clamp is not installed properly?
and when I had my (same exact) k&n filter installed like that it eventually melted and fell apart
