12.15 again last night. Car might be able to get a bit better, but that seems to be where I'm at.

1.878 60‘ for my new best 60' so am still improving - I think all my runs were beating the 2 seconds which is a huge step forward from where I was previously. Still need to work out the best revs to stall up to off the line, so should be able to get a bit more there. Same with the shifts further down the track. Then I need to put them together for a single run.

No probs with my "double tapping" the shifts this time. Pretty sure it was as Lennox suggested above and I wasn't forcing 1st on the line :S

1.878....

Challenge accepted

how many runs did you get?

[Rab]

8 runs. Couple of track cleanups which took a while.

Tossing up whether to leave it there or keep chasing a perfect run and (hopefully) eek an 11 out of her

Bloody annoying hey. Feels like such a waste when you forget it. Jealous of your 60ft

What'd you stall it up to to get that? I could not for the life of me crack 2 seconds it would either burnout or bog down. Maybe crap tyres

Gonna give it another crack In a few weeks I want my in the 12 seconds pass stock before I mod!!

Rab, if you want to race the car and you are getting traction, there is the option of having another tune that brings the boost in harder rather than the flat boost line you have now

[Rab]

Lol Mick - the very thought was occurring to me on the way home. Was going to speak to you during the week

Am wrapped with the car and setup as it is now and don't want to just chase numbers, but see nothing wrong with some more specific tuning.

Was also wondering if it would be possible to load a shift table with more thought out (drag specific) shift points?

Lennox - still not too sure where I am off the line yet. Was maybe 2100- 2200 with no traction issue. I think 2300 last time had me spinning, but had slightly more air in the tyres then. Still need to find the sweet spot reliably.

28 in the Invo's and the Shockworks coilovers keep impressing me with the grip I'm getting.

I'm flat to the floor from off the line til the end with no issues etc (flat boost Mick mentions) and perfect for 99% of the cars use.

How do the shockworks go at the drags Rab? Do you wack the rears on full soft and go?

[BenDoCo]

Get a tune.....get a tune....

Very good idea ratter and the idea of a specific shift pattern for the track appeals to me as well.

Wanna see an 11 when I'm down there guys

[Rab]

TomT: Rears are still on full soft from when they were fitted - have played with the fronts but not the rears yet. Will do that shortly.

So yeah, full soft at the rears, full hard at the front for the drags.

8 runs last night - all in the 1.9's for the 60' and a 1.8. Previously on stock springs 2.2 was the norm. (doesn't take into account that I'm slowly improving myself as well, but does show a definite difference)

Definitely give more grip that the stock setup, but also gives back fantastic feedback when on the road. Under acceleration you can feel where the tyres are getting to their limit of traction and keep a nice balance with them at that limit. Would be expecting even greater control once I do find the proper firmness to dial the rears in at too. I think the fact that they're non-progressive gives them a huge advantage in that regard - constant spring rate the whole way through the load.

Don: you coming down with yum cha tyres or some rubber that can actually make use of your power/boost?
