    After the install day I swung by TopSpeed and Doug tuned my alcohol injection. I am dying to see what I can run with the new found power.

    Last time there I ran a 12.7@111 in the 100 degree heat. My car should be 100lbs lighter and I have 40 more whp and torque than the last time.

    My car now vs stock wrx:

    This is what I ran the 12.7 with.

    I will probably be there. I'm going to do the helper spring mod, and get a retune. I'm calling trey tomorow and getting a tune done since I have an ecutek. Hopefully they won't be too busy with all these wrx's from myrtle beach coming to get tuned... :eek:hnoes:

    Everytime I go to Commerce, I leave there saying that i'll never go back. Poor track prep and half-ass everything else leads to a bad situation overall. I was getting so much wheel hop on the starting line that my car jumped out of first gear twice. It felt like I broke the tranny. thankfully I didn't break anything, but i'm done with commerce. 1 out of 3 runs was a complete run, and it was a crappy one at that. It's back to Silver Dollar for me:)

    well it gets faster on at night... plus traction improves... I spun all 4 off the line all the way to the 60 foot and so did genya... Percieverence(SPELLING) is the key.

    Obviously I didn't get to make it. I had to go to Dallas last minute. I am definately going to the Import showdown. We should organize a caravan for that one.
