Brian,
Very respectable times for your first trip with the kit. I'm sure you'll nail 11.5 with slicks and a good launch next time. Let me know when your going back out there, cause I want to go too.

APS TT...obviously
Helix Test Pipes
Borla TD Exhaust
JWT clutch/flywheel
Nismo S-Tune Suspension
Stoptech 13.1 BBK
Defi boost gauge
AEM UEGO Wideband AF guage
Greddy Profec S electronic boost controller
18 inch volk SF-Winnings with S-03s in the front and BFG drags in the back
I think that's about it. Probably missing something though.

i always knew your the better driver.
remember about this time last year... I was just on base greddy kit with fuel system at 8.5psi making the same 430rwhp, the quickest I ever went was a 12.1 @ 115 .... I think you were there when I ran like 10 of those in a day .. consistently missing 5th gear right before the end... actually I think Tuan was there too! Most frustrating day of my life I think.

as for banging rev limit... thats very understandable, your next mod should be a TS or AAM flash for a 7000rpm limit... its hard not to hit the 6500 limit with the TT's, APS and Greddy alike are pulling hard all the way up and 6500 is before you really start to a feel a power drop that makes you want to shift.

If I don't go to Michigan this weekend I'll definitely head up to Byron on Saturday.
Only thing I'm worried about with a reflash with a higher rev limiter is the rod bolts with the power and the extra revs. Otherwise I'd do it right away.

i wouldnt worry about it man... remember i ran 7000rpm since the day i put the FCON in... never had a problem! Tuans got you tuned good! I used to do burnouts and bang off the 7k like 30 times straight! I say go for it (but im not gonna pay to fix it if it breaks!!)... just make sure your tune is clean beyond 6500 if you do it, since it hasnt been tested up there yet.... remember all that racing i did at 7000rpm... i think it should be fine.

In other news...Kopo (Adam): I might be going to the track to see the viper run on Saturday...so if you're interested let me know. Don't know if I'll be running my car...maybe I'll bring my bike and run that.

I got the TS l-Spec Reflash and shift at 6900. I had Brainstorm tune my kit accordingly.
Best thing about it is so far I didn't have to shift into 5th, which of course will change once I get below 1.8's in my 60' foots.

I'm going to LACR tonight....horrible track even slower and higher elevation than Cali Speedway...I'm hoping for a 12.5...at that track that would be awesome....
