Talking New Times!!!

So today was the first day that I was able to run with the new pulley and tune and I have to say that I'm quite impressed by the results. I couldn't have asked for a better day to run. 60*F and 30% humidity (so the sun was hot to heat the track but the air was cold for the engine), also our track was prepped last week for a national event so the track was hooking (for me at least).

This is the first prelim run I'm doing with this setup because I received a used Code3 Pulley from Brandon so I could get my car tuned by Jerry while the new pulleys come in. I'm receiving a newly designed pulley from Code3 in the next few weeks and I'm going to test that one out as well at the track, along with a dyno. Brandon claims it'll be more responsive than the older one and Jerry said it should give me a little more power since it's lighter, but we'll have to see.

Specs on the car are in the signature, I'm still running my Continental All-Seasons that have just hit the 2/32 nub and I have not re-gapped my plugs after the new tune. I might just get a some new silver plated ones Code3's selling but I'll see.

First run was the worst of the day since I wasn't used to the new power but it got better every run after until the last few which flip-flopped.

Run____1st_____2nd_____3rd_____4th_____5th_____6th
60':___2.054___1.968___1.826___1.832___1.867___1.857
1/8:___8.150___8.048___7.908___7.894___7.924___7.916
MPH:__89.52___89.36___89.19___89.57___89.05___89.91
1/4:___12.48___12.38___12.24___12.22___12.26___12.23
MPH:___NT____113.00__113.06__113.43__113.09__114.27
DA: -252 (via dragtimes and known conditions)

So, overall the 4th run was my best. I don't think I could have done any better today. I might be able to squeeze out a faster time if the temp was in the 50's, but the new pulley and tune dropped my best times .72 seconds similar conditions. There's a possibility with DR's, the newly designed pulley and a lower temp that I could be the first Roadster in the 11s (maybe). There's a lot of variables but Bradenton is one of the best (if not the best) prepped tracks in the state.
