nearly came home with 100MPH trap speeds

well i went to the track again today (2nd straight weekend ) although my times did not improve my traps jumped up. this is probably due to the lack of traction i had off the launch. traction has never been an issue for me, but today since the track was VERY crowded the starting line was a mess. i blew the tires off all through first, and had to make due in second. here is my less than impressive slip with a terrible 60', but a great trap speed. i was pretty disapointed not to come home besting my 14.302 from a week ago, but i guess it just wasnt my day. get 'em next time.

60' - 2.392
1/4 - 14.607
MPH - 99.34

i also had 2 98.9 traps, but the quickest ET was 14.4. i guess slicks will have to get me into the 13's since traction is now an apparent obstacle.

chalk up some more info on the JWT ECU/MEVI combo...i seem to be spilling out a lot of it. this combo is really kicking butt up top.

You have dethroned myself and VQdriver as the highest traps for an N/A 4th gen, very impressive. Did you do any extra weight reduction this time or no?

Im really happy to see you trapping darn near 100mph. That gives me hope that I may achieve the traps I am looking for.

Whenever JWT decides to send us the ECUs they said they'd have done in 2 weeks........4-5 weeks ago

Good job on the traps Paul. Nearly 100mph is extremely impressive for an NA Maxima.
