I have vids of a few of your runs i can post them up if you want.
I would be interested, depending on when and where you guys set this up. I'm in New York, doesn't LET have a vendor in South Jersey? Maybe we could do it there. Keep me posted. Thanks

Mark,

You are wasting your money and time running the car without an ECU. I made a post that well documented this not too long ago - I threw the pulley on to see how the ECU would react and made ZERO more TQ or HP. trapping 115-117 is what I did stock. You should have done the ECU a long time ago.

well i only got the car 4 months ago ......and i missed the first LET tour here which was a week or 2 after i got it. at that point they were going through a change in ownership and i was still doing research on what i wanted to do.

i wouldnt call it a waste as it was still a great time/practice and it was only 25$ to run. plus last time i went was when i just bought the car and it went 12.7 @109 with 1.9 60'.....so i knew i needed to replace the intercooler pump.

i will get a tune very soon. thanks !

more importantly i got a baseline time with nothing broken, so it can only get better from here

Well by the title of your thread - "Track Fail" - it seems you are/were setting some super-high expectations hence my reply. Going to the track is never a waste of time, but expecting significant gains with just about any mods and no ECU is going to set yourself up for major disappointment.

Practice is definitely a great thing, but you will really be able to unleash the car once the ECU gives it an opportunity to show it's true potential.

Good luck.

Marcus
