History repeats itself: 12.37@187*

Went to Sport Compact today to test out some small changes I have made to the car. The changes are namely the addition of a Stett Charge Pipe and a larger meth nozzle. The conditions where very bad with some rain and very hectic humidity. For a change today I did numerous runs the one after the other with no cooling down in between to test the cars reliability and see how the software manages.
When the temperature reached a 33 degree ambient I managed to repeat my previous best of 12.37. There where no exit speeds for the day as they had timing equipment problems but the Vbox showed 187 which is a 1km/h gain compared to my previous best. Lets say that is the unofficial speed*.

All in all it was a great day with the car performing as good in worse condition. Its a sign I am heading in the right direction as the people that ran at the previous Sport Compact ran worse times.

The day was fun filled with lots of exhibition runs including turbo charged motorbikes and some seriously worked drag cars. They did a exhibition run of the jet car and the parachute failed so the pilot was forced to roll it into the barrier @400km/h+. Scary site but he walked away thankfully unscathed.

Well done george. The Stett pipe & that nozzle do make a big difference. I found the stett pipe and dvs with the race springs hold boost much better in the upper rpms on the dyno compared to the stock version. Your patience will pay off. Keep it up man.:thumbsup:

The nozzle is great but the placement is too close to the throttle. I had lower intakes with it close to the intercooler with the 7. Going to move it back and see what the change is. Maybe use the further placement for summer and closer for winter - best of both worlds.
The DV's are great but up here we battle with power above 6000 so no point even reving past that.
Next step is going back to the stock ratio diff.:excited:
