Hey Type R. We have a lot of GTP's that run at Orlando Speed World. 2 weeks ago we had a gathering and the last count was in the 20's. A few were in the 12's but most are on the 13's like myself. When I did the 13.97 it was with a 2.18 60' . I've been able to get as low as a 2.008 60' of rad's. That night traction was not so great. If I got the 60' down to my normal I should have been around a 13.7. I just put a smaller pulley on since my PB. It will add another 1 1/2 of boost (around 12-13 psi). My times should once again drop pretty nice.
ive gone 2.07* on street tires my self but i asked about your wheel size because i have a set of nearly new nitto draggers for sale 245/45/17 if anyones interested

was nice to meet you too Jay. you got your 12.8 like your friend said! even with the tenth slower your friends say they are running wouldn't help me out trying to get a new best. You right my first run would have been it. i used the analyzer here and it converted my 1/8 time to a low 13.4!

i missed 4th gear on first pass

We all have bad days at the track, one things for sure, I never miss a gear! <I have a automatic! The track prep wasn't all that good either today comapred to Saturday TNT. everyone with a manual has had those days where they just can't quite find the gear, like you were saying though, your 8.5 pass in the 1/8 would have been a good time for you, maybe next time.

Jay

The pic in your sig looks familiar! I live between Aub and Lakeland, you ever hang out at the K-Mat on S. Fl ave in Lakeland on Fridays?

Nope, I haven't been there. Which K-Mart? I think there are 2 on 98. There is one where Best Buy is, I live about 1/2 mile from there. Also the pic in the sig doesn't do justice to how hammered the car is haha. It was never taken very good care of by past owners.
