Default broke into the 12s

Ran my car last nite at our local track. Was pretty cool here in Tucson starting at about 11pm they opened the track to nothing but street racers. Anyone who wanted to spend $15 could grudge race anyone they wanted all nite. Place was packed with all kinds of cars, and the staging lanes where 100 cars deep
till past 3am !! I left at about 2pm. Weather was perfect, about 75 degrees all nite under the stars.

Default continued.....

They ran a Pro tree, just one yellow and GREEN. At the end of the track you could see who won by the boards lighting up but they didnt show your times. Trying to keep it as much like streetracing as possible, and it worked! Everyone had a great time, they call it Midnite Madness and it saved alot of people from getting into trouble with the cops and anyone getting hurt. My car was running good but not at its prime. Running Nitto drag radials and a 50 shot of NX outta the hole to spool up the turbo, the car ran a 12.69 at 110 mph.
That was with about 17psi of boost.
I was happy with that considering I havent tuned it completely
yet. I plan on removing the cat this week, changing the 1 yr old plugs (long overdue) and bumping the boost to about 22 and shoot for a low 12 if not a high 11 in a few weeks when it gets even a little cooler out. My one and only run was against my friends WRX, unfortunatly for him his BOV popped off at the line and his car died. That sucked, but we had it fixed in a few minutes.
Thats the most Im going to edit, but its okay, Im not
here that often ...thanks
