Message:: [QUOTE="Dr. Jeff Harper, post: 539012, member: 22311"]Well,  I was out on Friday night for more test and tune runs.  The car is still totally new to me and Khun Mac.  We made some nice tuning runs on Friday evening . . . the chassis was still way too loose . . . it wallowed in 2nd gear quite a bit.  Some shock tuning and spring rate changes made it much better.  Stopping from speed was great.  We finally made a very good test run on 0.9 bar of boost, shifting at  5500 rpm, and leaving the line at an idle on the bottom yellow light --  an 11.44 at 203 kph.   Yes, 0.9 bar and shifting at 5500.  We were looking for a low boost setting for the 12.5 and  11.90 brackets and we found  it! Saturday night I drove the car, the first time in 1 1/2 years, and did a pretty bad job.  More chassis tuning yielded some nice uneventful runs -- straight and quick.  I tested at at a promising 12.65 for the 12.50 second bracket, but, because it was 1:00am before we had our bracket qualifying runs, I was pretty sleepy and missed the light big time.  See the clip and laugh!  OH well, it was fun to get back in the car.[/QUOTE]
