Hope your thread doesn't get locked for "racing" since it is still on public access roads and therefore dangerous.

I think it is the EJ20K. But is it only 218??? I think it is more. Plus he had the boost raised to 1.0 Bar...

Sorry I missed your post tom. I went to RT13 Dragway in lower DE. It turned out to be a waste of time and money. Because of a heavy cross wind they would only do 1/8 mile runs. Track conditions were so bad that the one time I made a pass, I spun all the way through 1st gear, while launching at below 2000rpm. My 60ft time was over 2.4. It was the last day of the year for this track so it was mobbed. After watching for 3 hours they ad managed to run half the cars. I would have had to wait around for anoher 3 hours for them to call my class again. I need to find someplace that does test and tune nights.

yeah... I hate autos... I like my 6mt... The tranny has nothing to do with a lack of tuning... If you want an auto in my car, build your own
