The VR600 is with no cams. I basically have the same thing as you except I had the stock mid pipes with all cats and resonator. I just noticed that you have the LET custom dyno tune...hmmm. I just had the newest tune installed from Vadim and it was running very lean, good thing I only had it on for a week or so 
! I know have LET's custom dyno tune and it made the almost the same power but at much safer AFR.
I really don't know why your trap speeds are on the lower end for your mods. Maybe some of the more experience veterans or even LET could jump in give their input. The thing that gets me as that you had good conditions
. I'll see tonight but even at +1500 DA my car still trapped 122 with my old VR600 box tune. Tonight I'll have similar conditions as Famoso which should give me a comparison...depending on track prep. VR600 tune vs. my new LET tune. BTW...I have a few more mods since Famoso so I should do much better, in my mind. Anything less will be dissapointing.

It was horrible. They didn't spray any VHT and barely put any water in the box. The fricken guy who usually backs you up didn't do crap, I finally asked my friend to guide me back. My best time was 12.04 @ 123.5 with a 60' time of 2.225...LOL. No matter what I did I couldn't get traction.
I really didn't get a chacne to get a good comparison since traction didn't exist. BTW...the DA was 1200 or so when I ran.

LOL...yeah I was still hoping for more though. Earlier this year in negative DA I was trapping 124 with a box tune. Not quite sure if I'm that impressed with LET's tune yet, I was really hoping for a better trap. I need to give them a call and get their input.
What's funny is that this past winter I used Toyo T1R's and my 60' time were 1.8-1.95. This was on a Test-n-Tune day but admission was $50 and they sprayed VHT once or twice through out the 4 hour session.
Could anyone guesstimate on what my ET's would've been with 1.7-1.8 60' times.

Ahmad, quick question regarding P2096 CEL. Yesterday I had 3/8 of a tank with 91 octane and put 3 gallons on 100 octane. While driving to the track, about 5 miles and P2096 CEL came on. Do you think it could have been gas related? I only put a few gallons in trying to bring my octane to 93 or so.

Try using VP109-MS109 Unleaded if you can get it locally, it's an awesome fuel!

VP109 is unleaded and does not contain metal particales, it's safe for cats and o2 sensors. i am sure there are some others as well.

leaded gasoline can cause damage to cats and o2 sensors. some other gasolines containe other metal particles that can damage cats and o2 sensors as well.
