HUMM, looks like Rob's old school G-tech looks pretty damn close to me.

so we got to the track, slapped on the slicks and opened up the exhaust cutout and pulled the grill, ready to rock! well, the battery on the laptop died so i wasnt able to record the datalogs on the zeitronix wideband the car takes a few passes before the pcm compensates for the exh cutouts, i would liked to have opened them up a few miles befopre the track but its too damn loud to hear them drone down the highway.

first pass was a 12.12@115 versus a 12.20@117 (stage 3 slicked srt-4)
cool, were off to a great start. i used an old school gtec aswell and it showed a 0-60 in 3.92sec and 1/4 in 12.15sec on that pass
second pass i cut a 1.752 60ft and ran 12.10@115
gtec showed 0-60 in 3.91 and 1/4 of a 12.13
thrid pass was after sitting for an hour waiting some broken POS to get towed off the track, i tried to launch a little harder and blew the tires away and went 12.3x@114
forth run was after another track cleanup and again launched to hard to grip and ran 12.2x@115
last run after waiting another hour for another POS breakdown cleanup we went 12.09@114.xx with a 1.83 60 ft

so, close but no cigar tonight, i think we can get into the 11's with this setup but its going to be barely into the 11's. time for more part designing to get us into the 11's comfortably
