I had several good runs tonight. Last summer and fall I could not break out of 15.9. I was running lots of 16.0's and 16.1's too. Tonight I had one 15.6 and two 15.7's. My trap speed is up too. I'm at 88.9 vs. last summer's 86. I think my CAI is the reason for that. The new tranny is helping too. While it's not as good as my 15.47 or various 15.5's, it's close enough.

I have some pics located at http://vqpower.tripod.com/cap42001/

Nice runs. Looks like you got the same time as Mr. Burner and 2000MaximaSE.

I think it did, but I'm unsure if that or the new trans solenoid had more impact. Judging from the trap speeds being up, I would say that is the reason. Usually your trap speed is related to your HP.

Paul, is your tubing outside the splash guard or inside? I had my tubing inside the splash guard at first and then moved it so that it is facing forward through the splash guard. There is a noticeable difference between the two positions. Maybe next time you hit the track you want to reposition the tubing if you don't already have it that way

It's inside the splash guard. I'm lazy. Next time I go will make an effort to position it outside. Did you cut a hole in your splash guard?

yeah...A small rectangular slit about 2 inches wide. I just made three cuts in the splash guard so it is like a flap. I can pull the tubing underneath the radiator assmebly through this hole or push it back inside and close the slit if needed. The cuts were made between the two screw holes in the driver side splash guard. You just need a little bit of slack in your tubing to do it. The only thing that was a little tough was pulling of those little plastic tabs that hold in the splash guard. I pulled off the guard to see where to route the tubing, but I don't think you have to remove it if you can do it just as it is.
