Private rental at PBIR

Well, I appear to be the only member fron south FL to attend other than SGC. So I will have some fun on my own.

My car dynoed today at 524hp and 576tq in 80 degree weather and the humidity was around 60. Love the FL heat.

I have recently installed my trunk res, colder plugs, muffler delete, and TCU. Dyno tuned right after.

The AMS Alpha 12 will be there along with Renntech. There are around 20 other GTRs attending. Hopefully I can pick on a few of them. I'm not looking for 10s since we aren't below sea level and we will never get 30 degree weather. Just looking to have a great time and I will video for all.

Will keep everyone posted as it happens.

BTW...be very afraid for that "lil" blk celica thats in line behind your car. Its a pure sleeper. He is having some minor issues with it, but it dynos 850~900 whp through 4-wheels. It ran the standing mile at 206mph. Its a street driven "assassin"

Man I would have loved to be there for that. I don't come back to the U.S. until beginning of April though. I will be making that same trip down From Jacksonville to the Keys again though and might have to make it on a Test n Tune night again and meet up with some of you if you are gonna go!

Well I'm stuck at 11.42 @ 121 mph and a 1.6 60ft.

I've had four runs all at this time. It's 76 degrees here and humid as FAWK!! It's raining all around us. And all the street tires are killing the prep. There are a couple other members here from the C63 side. All in all, every one is having an awesome time.

My car keeps spinning off the line. Hopefully it will get better after they reprep the track. I have plenty of vids and pics that will be posted later.

How much fuel do you have in the car? Go put some high octane goodness in there to help out unless you arleady do. Is the trunk tank filled with ice?

The car certainly has come along way since the end of December though when I was there with you. Big improvement!

PSI was down to 17. It was only my left tire spinning. On one run I even went sideways. Time for my LSD to be installed.

Thanks David. I had 100 oct in it. It's not tuned for 110 oct. and yes it has come along way since that run. Lol. Make sure you give me a call when you pass back through.

Congrats E, Great runs considering you've only made a handful of passes with the car. Todays weather robbed you of some HP.

The progress is good IMO. But my car is not the strongest by far. We will be adding the LSD, camshafts, intake, and meth in the next couple of weeks. The heat down here really sucks a$$. The MT et streets sucked ***** like a ***** on prom night. I will have brand new Hoosier on for the next trip to the track. Thanks for the kind words!

Yes it is. Thank you! It seems that every time I hit the track I drop a little lower. I guess I need 10 more times to get to where you're at. Lol jk. It's gonna take a lot more practice and more hp. But I'm working on it.


And a big thanks to the both of you for the inspiration you have given to me!

Thanks Eddie. Yah, some people don't realize that I've never drag raced before. After seeing what can be done with the 55k I decided to give it a try. It will take some more practice, but hey, I didn't become a professional golfer over night either.
