Time slip from the track at qualcomm. I really need to learn how to launch better. Ran 9 secs 1/8 mile with slipping clutch.
The track isnt the best but its all we have in San Deigo and the turbo doesnt spool very well until 3rd gear, thats why the times are kinda slow.

This is my current wheel horse power dyno sheet with the S2 motor.

Very nice! And I recall seeing in that issue. Really love the changes you made - leather interior might creep into my plans.
