My street driven car doing a wheelie and a new PB - kudos to Yank and LG
I know it's shameless self-promotion but I don't care.
With the addition of a prototype converter from Yank my car is now cutting 1.35x 60ft times like this on a pretty much regular basis at the track (this was taken last week) despite launching at only 1900RPM:
And after upgrading to 1-7/8" headers from LG (thanks to Anthony for talking me into them), I ran my fastest time ever in the car last night (I'm on the right side):
My prior best from a Wednesday night race was the 10.42 that I ran last week, so I picked up over a tenth from just the headers upgrade and thankfully didn't lose anything on the bottom end at the same time (which I was a little fearful of).
Given that I spun on my last pass and had already ran a few 1.35x 60ft times earlier in the evening, that 10.315 could have actually been a high 10.28. I'll be racing again this Monday and in the awesome early morning DA we get at Sonoma Raceway (when I ran there back on August 20th it was only 250ft on my first pass) I'm reasonably confident that I'll run a high 10.1xx but no worse than a low 10.2xx.
