If it's the same one as this (how many yellow Gallardo TTs were at PBIR, after all??) it almost broke NINES.

i apologize if i missed it but whats your exhaust setup? do these engines do better with a larger dia. full exhaust or a medium dia. 3/4. i noticed yours is dumping before the rear wheels right? i know on my Olds, it does better with just a little piping off the headers rather than a full 3". do the newer cars need more backpressure than that?

Eurocharged long tube headers to 3 inch piping with magnaflow x pipe and yes it dumps right at the rear wheels.

I couldn't really tell but did you keep your grill on? Next time your going for a PB take that off let more air in. Nice runs looked like a fun time.

The grille was on for the majority of my runs. Then towards the end I finally took it off. By then it was to late. The track prep was toast and I kept spinning off the line.
