no but I did get a warning 
The cop was cool as hell, only had me for 5 minutes while he ran my license and wrote the warning. It was funny, As I was sitting at the light at 54 waiting to turn left, the guy in the Lincoln says "hey man, do you know your running lights aren't working" and I said "yeah, and I'm about to get pulled over for it too" since the cop had made the U-turn and was right behind me 
FYI to everyone else, I cut an old alarm out of the car this week and for some reason the rear running lights aren't working but the fronts are. There are a couple of wires in the harness I didn't reattach so I'm sure its one of those.
FYI#2, ask Mars how good my car pulls in 4th gear

yeah, you got me by a couple of cars mainly on the 1-2 shift. Were you powershifting? I wasn't, not sure why. That's the wrong turbo for the car. I think with a stock turbo at 18lbs (what I'm running currently) I'd be faster than I am now. The reason it runs so hard in 4th is because it stays in the sweet spot from 3500 to 5k so long. Its still a fun car and I've got some other stuff up my sleeve, but it was a really fun run

What's done to the 302? I run into theolder fox 5 liters on the street alot and from a stop they can be a serious pia.
What have you done to your 2.3t? I'm still wanting to catch up with some turboford people.

He's got ported stock heads, GT40intake, cam, exhaust, gear etc.
I'm running 18lbs with a T4/T3 turbo, ported head but stock intake and exhaust manifolds.
I'll be out more often now that the car is finally squared away. I'll just be busy the next 2 weekends though

I'd like to have a run at the hybrid 2.3 turbo car sometime. What kind of set up are you using on the intercooler?
Let me know when you actually get some free time and maybe we can meet up.
Mine is kind of in the ups and downs situation right now but it's mostly squared away.

Im trying to remember though if I finally started pulling you in 4th on tyhe first run before you shifted early to 5th and then I went by you. No I never power shift, I just shift pretty fast.
The run from the stop that was a WOT launch though
No dumping, just quick jab at the gas while releasing clutch at the same time.

That car definitely got the holeshot. I probaly could've left harder than I did. It just used to skate all around with the 16's but with the wider 17's it sticks pretty good. I'm sure we'll have more runs
