Would be great to not be the only luxury car at the track.

California Dragway at sea level or close at least?
It seems to be around 1100 ft. www.californiaspeedway.com. Click on the "California Dragway" button on the right side of the page.

It should be rather warm in August, but what the hell.

You got it (although you'll probably kick my ***).

No further mods planned for the immediate future; but I'm kicking around the idea of a cooling mod; people swear by LSD; and don't know if DR's are a "mod." But, looking at them all.

Also sent you a PM.

Oops, couldn't send you a PM.

not sure about the mods on ur car, but DR's are not considered cheating

nah, u never know how well ur car will do at a lower level altitude, so u cant sucker me to a bet either :p . all i know is that my car loves it & i usually pick up 3.5 tenths off my normal LACR ET & a good 2 to 3 mph.

Sir, I recent the accusation that I am somehow cheating.

If you are interested, the mods are the "Evolution 1" and "Evolution 2" packages from EvoSport (www.evosport.com)

I was going to send you my personal email address, but when I tried to send you a PM, it indicated that you did not want to receive PM's (what a fukking snob) and that I would have to contact the site administrator for the privilege of sending you a PM.

You would only be a sucker if you lost. :v

:shocked: well, i never . e-mail davidp@fts.com or the link i gave you yesturday. im usually on that board all the time, but sometimes i need to wonder around

so, now the smack talks begins

:p

no, us slow folks call fast cars cheaters...there is no way out of it mark

btw: anytime u decrease IAT ( Inlet Air Temps ), the more power u can make with Denser Air. im not sure if ur car has a knock sensor or not and if its programmed to knock timing off as it hits IAT temps of 150....but id say it would help out....cheater....thats consider a mod, u know.

Davey...a certain company is working on unshrouding the intake around the blower on these cars...that should be good for a 10-20* reduction in iat2's.
