I still haven't been back to the track after the S/C upgrade, but my last Gtech run left me with a 110 trap speed in the 1/4. I'm hoping to get better traction with the weight and width of the Cobra R's 255 17's vs. 225 16's. I might tension my belt more to get 12PSI also. :-)

I went to opening night at Sac raceway. The weather was good, but the track was slippery. Best time of 13.2@ 109.5mph and a best speed of 109.7 on brand new slippery 17" street tires with Cobra R's. I had no traction through 1st and 2nd gear. I can't wait until I get the chip.
2-22-03
WIth nothing new, I hit a 12.9... After my staging burnout, the tires gripped to hard and I took off at 2K RPM and bogged big time, but it picked up from there with grip and I still hit 12's. :-)

I finally took pictures of my car with the cobra's on it.

Installed my battery relocation kit. Very nice! I haven't tested out the traction benefit yet, but will the next time I go to the track. I'm waiting until after I install my bypass valve, discharge tube, and water injection. :-)

After three all nighters, I got my SC pipes, bypass valve, and custom water injection system on and operational. The water injection kit sent me to the store at least 30 times for parts (home depot, Kragen, Auto Zone, Radio Shack and Napa), but man it was worth it. It allowed me to run 12psi with stock timing and I gained 40rwhp and 37lbs tq. :-)

Since the mods, I've gone 12.7@116 with the G-tech pro. It is usually very accurate if used right, so i'll wait a couple of weeks and see what I do at the track. :-)
