Excellent job! Very nicely done. I was able to close the gap a little, but you're still a couple clicks ahead of me... VERY awesome for you, but I can't be disappointed with 12.19. So, thanks for your suggestions to get us all down the track faster!

Wow, 11's in an F with only an intake and exhaust. Great driving too Cayman
The rear gear could have been slightly shorter, or the tires slightly taller and the run would have been perfect for 4th gear. (rev limiter for a second right at the end may have cost ever so slightly)

Kudos; love it. and I'm also interested in the final intake settup.

and Nautique, you're only a click or 2 from 11's......congrats too.

Which is why i think the information from the factory about the ISFs gear ratios are false. All the online calculators i have used say the car should be able to do 125mph at 6800rpm in 4th gear with Caymans tire setup. Hummmm.

I understand how the 60' works, but what I'm saying is that on both occasions where I have got a 1.8x 60', I did not start brake torquing until the yellow lights started going down the tree. First yellow light I bring the rpms up to maybe 700, second yellow rpms up to around 900 and on the 3rd yellow I have the rpms up to around 1200 and let the momentum of the increasing rpms help me jump out of the hole.

Your inspection stocker seems to be in the lower middle and I don't see the tax sticker. Have things changed?

A few years ago, Fairfax county where I live did away with the tax sticker, but we still have to pay that heft tax each year. Inspection sticker now goes in the front bottom center of the windshield.

Yeah it sure is. I wish I had started doing that sooner. I wish I had a slightly taller tires though so I wouldn't be bouncing the rev limiter as I'm going through the traps.

Stock intake and filter.

12.19 is a great run too! Glad you too are loving the SIKKY headers and PTS JoeZ exhaust.

What's your next goal carmandive? Any other mods in your lineup to maybe get to the mid 11's?

11.8x I'd assume. He's just .02 away. Very doable.
