Let me ask you a question, Ted. Do you see anything wrong here? We got no springs, do we!? A couple of VWR springs will pull a premium one week before race wars.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

This delay in shipmemt will just give greasy a couple more days to finish his car before he has to install your springs!

 

[Mook]

Hes got at least a week before they maybe even show up.

That's a great point! I wasn't even thinking of how we would do the install with my fat pig in the way. I guess we could use the smaller third bay.

If this happens, I shall grace you all with my presence.

 

[Mook]

Itll happen eventually.

 

[DanJ]

40 weight sounds nice

Apparently my springs had to ship from the UK and they're currently sitting in customs.... So they might ship next week. Might not.

[greasy]

Seriously though, you ordering some exotic shit for this car

 

[DanJ]

Only the finest British lowering springs.

 

[Intel]

Get your squad and go pick up all dem parts

Figured with the cooler tempts today, I'd head out and try and get a few pulls in. On the hopefully positive side, the Continentals seem to work way better with the UM LC....no weird short shifting and seemingly less spinning (definitely felt faster on the butt dyno)...but both my 0-60 and 1/4 mile were down. 12.02@113 and 3.88 0-60 (and 3.71 on my P3 gauge)...however, both of those dragy runs were invalid runs b/c of a supposed decline (same road I always use, only this time Dragy claims a -1.34% slope)....so I suppose its always possible Dragy was reading wrong.

I'm a bit disappointed and wondering if I made a mistake switching from GIAC. The car goes on the dyno Saturday, so I'll be curious to see where it lands on power and how the curve looks, etc.

Dragy isnt 100% a sure thing so maybe things were just off today.

For now, I shall continue to chase my 11.8x run.

I’m sure the da is good today but do you consider that when you make your pulls, my 4.5 0-60 that I did na was in like -300 da so I feel less bad about only pulling 4.1’s in 3000da spraying the crap out of it

 

[Mook]

-300? The fuck? How?

Dragy showed the DA was like 3500 and my TRC app said it was 2500.

On my 11.90 run...the DA was....like 1800? Something like that.

 

[Mook]

Am I confused about DA? Do I not want it to be low vs high?

You're saying you ran SLOWER in -300 and dont feel bad about going faster in higher DA....I'm confused

Edit - NVM, I missed the part about spray.

Winter that’s how lol, so if it was 2500 today that’s how you lost time, unless your running a ice box or killer chiller 1000da will knock a tenth to a couple tenths off

One was NA the other spraying...

 

[Mook]

For my "invalid" (bullshit) run of 12.02, the DA was 3268 according to Dragy. The TRC app says its 2500ish. So I'll have to go with Dragy since that whats giving me the time.

I corrected myself, DICK.

 

[1quick]

The lower the better for da, it can be cool with high humidity and it fucks up the da too, 1000 feet is a noticeable difference on your 1/4 mile times though

 

[Mook]

I mean I can use one of those DA adjustment calculators, but I feel like a douche doing so.

Yeah that’s high, if you can catch it close to 1000 you will run 11.8
