I managed to get a new personal best of 13.0@103MPH :banana:

Jon

- Since I still need to get a replacement TMIC or FMIC do you think that getting the STi TMIC is worth the money to replace my stock one?

No way on the STi top mount. 700 bucks gets you the Turbo XS top mount when the STi's are priced at 300-500 bucks. Throw down the extra cash, and go big w/ the awsome numbers after.

I think I have officially lost my claim to fame.

Hey Mario (or Damon). I think I left the power cord to that laptop I was showing you the DD on in your car.

Jon, if you're interested take a look at mine. Since it's got the damage on the metal housing, I'd cut you a good deal. It's dinged up, but it does the job. (Remember though, I'll have to find another one first )

I'm going to the field this Monday night or as late as Tuesday. Give me a call tomorrow. You can borrow it for next weekend.

Oh shoot! Sorry Dustin. I mean Justin.

Mario, if you lived in my world, you'd understand...I wouldn't wish that on anyone, though.

Seriously, I'll come to Kbay tomorrow evening to pick it up. I need it pretty bad. I'm headed down to see Brandon at work so I can get my personal laptop repaired, so I can head up the Pali from there to pickup that cord from y'all.

By the way, if you didn't catch it in my earlier post, 12's are long gone and will never be back. My first few passes were terrible w/ a terrible 60' (and my worst times were still better than the tree fitty and the heavho that were there). I managed to drop from a 14.5 to a 13.6.

I've got a UTEC and WB kit that are kicking my *** and making me feel like I'm re-learning it all over again. I've got a stronger, albeit heavier, transmission but I'm scared to launch (Last pass, the 13.6, I did get a 1.8, but the noises I was hearing coming from the rear diff were nutshrivelling)

Story of my life.

Oh, btw. Jon, how does it feel to be beating Ced's Supra's times? I know it won't be for long, but until he hooks his 'cash hose' up to it, you're faster.

Last thing, while those BSM Camaros and FB's are running insanely fast, I'm watching the rear of their cars lift up and grab so violently that I'm sure many of those guys are gonna start having problems. My friend with the Z28, the CSM, did a bobo on his tranny because he was making so much power, had a huge Moser rear end w/ DR's or slicks that something had to give...and it did.

From what I understand, many of them aren't buying the stronger stuff along with the power stuff. Maybe Dave @ EFI can make a comment?
