I don't know about Bradenton, but it was POORING here in Gainesville today. I was at the track last night and it started raining just as I was about to make my last run. Oh well, there's always next time. :mad

Re: Weather in Bradenton???? (golfboy1)
Well last night I got a 13.45@101, but I was messing with my shift points, and right when I thought I had the good shifting down it started raining. I was hitting rev-limiter each shift and I lost A LOT of time with bad shifting(automatic, but I manually change shift points in the computer). I was also revving too high, so I was out of my power band. So I am going to go back and tune it some more and hopefully get the shifts down, so I can pull much better times, b/c the shifting is the only reason I couldn't get my times down.
But before my 3.73's i got a 13.4@104.xx so I know my car has at least a 13.2 in it. Since this run I also changed to FMS 30# injectors and got an electric water pump, but I also added my stereo system and went from stock sawblades to Y2K's, so that adds up to a tenth or so.

Anyway here is a breakdown(NOTE: I was not trying for a good RT, only a good launch)
R/T: .864
60': 1.982
330': 5.644
1/8: 8.656
mph: 81.29
1000: 11.252
1/4: 13.450
mph: 101.13
Now earlier in the night I got a 13.614@103.11 so my mph were all over the place, but I still didn't have my shift points right since the gear swap.
I did some testing on the street tonight against a friend, and it shifted nicely(just don't know if I'm out of my power band yet), so I should be on my way to a 13.1 or 13.2 easy now, especially if I get rid of my system and get my stock rims back on. Dang it I'm turning into a ricer, LOL.:D
