Congrats to my Brother, beat me with my own car...New best ET/mph
 

Just wanna let y'all know that my brother actually out drove me with my own car, d@^^!t! He ran a best ET of 12.77 sec @ 105+ mph! Unfortunately, I could not shift for Sh!t...I gotta get used to it, ran a 12.784 @ 106.83 mph! I was actually making a little more power at the time but couldnt hook up, plus my clutch is slipping - it stinks pretty bad! Hopefully I can get into the 12.6s, which is what the car should be doin with this mph...my previous best was 12.940 @ 103.42mph...

hahaha joel congratz to your self! you did a 12.7 also haha, so was the stage 1 and the race gas + lil NOS on your tmic the only thing diffrent? because damn, thats a huge ass jump!

Sweet! Good to see your car is running well.

good job, did nate run his car if so how did he do?

Andrew,
Shooting NOS on the intercooler in the pits didnt do anything as far as performance, in fact I ended up running 13.0s @ 106 with a slipping clutch - boy it stinks! I actually ran 12.7 before shooting NOS on the intercooler, just used the water spray at the time. All I can say is that the car is running with about 40 HP more than it did last week, just gotta get better at handling the power, the first 3 shifts are pretty quick - cant blink! Also, I think I probably maxed out the stock turbo/intercooler/fuel injectors on this puppy. The only way for me to get quicker now would be to lose some weight - I'm getting too chunky!

The only thing different was that Im running real 100 octane gas, not like last week when we all ended up with mystery fuel. My ECU mustve detected knock and backed the ecu off which caused my car to run slower last week. Also, we ran the car with the QTP xpass open - it works! gained 20 HP from it (20hp from race gas/20 HP from open downpipe)

congrats joel

joel congrats to the fastest sti in the 808!! QTP representin'!!!!

hey joel, i think if you put an catback you would run even faster ;) go check out the classifieds! my friend is selling his JIC FULL TITANIUM that means only 10 pounds!!!!!! it sounds like you!!!

Andrew,
A catback exhaust, will just make my car louder when its on stealth mode (xpass closed) - I dont think I'll be replacing my catback soon - it'll just attract more attention from the cops! By the way, I wont get better flow w/ a catback since my car now runs better w/ the open bypass - which eliminates the exhaust system completely - straight thru open exhaust.

Yeah, with that thing open, it sounds pretty damned sinister!

The guy with the Audi S4, was Reggie...(Raudi), his best run was 12.6s @ 111+ mph with race gas. I once drove his car and mis-shifted 1-2, and still ran 12.8 sec. Whew!
That car got some HP!!!
