Got bored this evening and decided to make an unplanned run out to the local dragstrip (Royal Purple Raceway, what used to be Houston Raceway Park). Only did two runs: one at 35 PSI all around that came in 13.335 @ 103.79, and a second run I dropped to 30 PSI on the rears and shaved a little time, got a 13.245 @103.27. DA-corrected, the runs are 13.192 @ 104.92 MPH and 13.134 @ 104.137 MPH.
I'm not the world's best drag racer and never will be, but they were pretty solid runs for me. I'm sure the car has a little more in it with slightly better launching and shift timing. Should easily drop into the high 12s once the next round of changes are done circa late June (LTHs, tune, 2pc front rotors), which is coincidentally about when I think I'll finally have time to start regularly hitting up the HPDE events down at Grandsport Speedway. I really want to get my transmission cooler and front brake ducts done before that though.
