Best et today S65
Best e.t. today at Virginia Motorsports Park. Here are the breakdowns:
60' 1.97
330 5.066
1/8 7.58@98.45
1000 9.723
1/4 11.534@123.96
Street tires at 27 psi with 104 octane. Track prep was great but I was tenative. Car was good but still felt like there was a top end miss. Can't complain about the numbers.

Awesome times man! What mods do you have? Tuning, intercooler pump, etc. And do you do anything special after after you run the race fuel or you just dump it in and go? Thanks and congrats!!

Just dump in race fuel and go but the car was nearly empty when I dumped in the race fuel. Stock IC pump with Renntech tune. I am pleased. Wish I was more aggressive with the launch. I used to be disappointed with 1.7 60' times now I would cheer.

On street tires ?? 
. Excellent numbers bro!! I've tried to get mine to the track three times this "winter" (It's 83 today) but they had sponsored events twice and then 1/8 mi racing the third time......
. I'm curious to see how mine will do with the tune. FYI, my ET's went down 4-5 tenths when I went from my street tires to DR's. But, I'm sure you're a tad hesitant after your recent track incident 
.
Reverting with some updated ET's soon, I hope......

great times! I ran an 11.90 stock tires no tune, 11.60 DRs and tune, but my 60ft sucked with the DRs (1.84 with DRs, 1.88 without). I gotta work on my burnout! I'm glad to see that there are a couple of S65r's on the track!

Yes. 27psi helps traction because of larger footprint. Street tires don't work well with pressure that is too low<20psi. Stock pressure in the low/mid 30's doesn't work as well in my track experiences.

Great job on street tires! Are you running the 93 octane tune or a 100 tune? Running almost 100 in the 1/8th is moving! What kind of tires are you running?
MRAMG1, my S65 was 5100#'s on the nose with me in it.
