I've had the spyder on the dyno for a tune at last after fitting the Microtech L10s and I'm looking at giving a few V8s a caining.
Anyone interested?
We did a 12.1 @ 116 mph on 191 HP.......what's the predictions for Wednesday night with 238HP?nn[ Edited on 7-9-2005 by speedster356 ]

got out there at 5:00 to find an "event closed" sign on the gates...........I should have checked the WSID site late in the day. Due to high winds and threat of rain.

OK, well I made it out there tonight....there was a cast of thousands out there. Plenty of spectators and probably the biggest crowd I've seen on a Wednesday night.
Did :
13.0s @ 114 MPH 2.2 60'😢
13.0s @ 122 MPH 2.2 60'😢
12.0s @ 123 MPH 2.1 60'🙂
11.6s @ 125 MPH 2.0 60':thumb
I set the shift light @ 6800 but it was still pulling strong past that.
Had a great night and looking to drop the time next meeting, looks like there might be some more in it with that MPH.:thumb

Well done Pete! If you can get off the line a little harder,
there's a very low 11 in there!
I wasn't that far off on the time and speed either!:thumbnn[ Edited on 8-9-2005 by Craig Paton ]
Good effort Pete!
What's in the tranny?
Did you have radials on?
westi wrote:That's mad Alan.
Exactly what I thought Craig !
From the way those times are falling I'd say more bum in seat time will yield results. Have you started fiddling with tyre pressures and suspension etc?
11.6 is bloody fast in anybody's books, so congratulations for breaking into the 11's !
Are you gonna be there this coming wednesday? I'm finally gonna get there for once. :o
BTW, went out for the test and tune day today. Great time looking at stuff. I'll probably post a thread with my favs in it. No VWs but awesome just the same.
Took my 19month old daughter, she kept saying, "CAR CAR!!!!" :P

Hey Pete
According to my calculations, with the weight of your car and mph that you ran last time out, If you can get off the line would you believe that your car is capable of running...
a 10.6 @ 125mph! Of course this would only be obtained in an optimum situation. ie Slicks, good track, good air and a quick 60ft time.
Now what revs are you goin to leave the line at next time..? 😬
Cheersnn[ Edited on 10-9-2005 by Craig Paton ]
Yikes!
1 set of 6" x 15" x 26" slicks
Tighten up the rear spring rate for less squat
Launch at 5000
exit one gearbox!!!:thumb
Dyno run today and it looks like the clutch is getting old at the top end and we dropped a few HP from the other day.
But still a lot to do on the AFRs...10.5 at peak power is mighty fat:alien
