Cool. Be sure to run your stage 1 for a couple days before you run the test again. It takes a bit for the car to become accustomed to the extra boost.

You'll have to come out to a Test N Tune sometime with me. Maybe even next Thursday if the weather is good. My best time stock was 13.34, and my best w/ stage 1 was 13.28 (3.5 boost). I'll be going back again soon to A. Get more practice, and B. See if the additional half pound of boost helped out any.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

Never heard of test n tune, but sounds like fun. Thanks for the offer, I think I'd be up for it. The mod bug just hit me but I'm trying to resist as best I can (already purchased stage 1 and have wheels and tires on the way in the next month or so).

Also, I would've expected a bit more of a difference in your time with stage 1 and without. Any thoughts as to why they're so close? Looks like stock magazines got it around 13.3. Guess I was expecting 13 flat ish, maybe even dipping into 12's.

$20, unlimited runs.

And I'm with you, I really expected 13.0-13.1. I'm not sure what was holding me back. I felt like I was getting off the line just fine. I'm eager to go back and try it again.

Wow that's super cheap. Not a bad way to spend $20
