Well here is the breakdown:

-Put new turbo from Bullseye Power on the car
-Got everything ready for the dyno

@DYNO

-car makes 500@like 1 bar
-Started losing traction on dyno at about 650
-Soaked the rollers and tires in VHT, applied a few more straps
-Cleared about 690 & couldnt get anymore runs out of it, due to spinning

@PRE-track testing

-Got to make 3 Passes at Gulfport Mississippi Dragway
-Air temp was 40 degrees and the dew point was killing the track from moisture

- I wont give out any of the exact times, but i DID HOWEVER pick up 24mph! from my last time out @ TR trackday which was only 122 with a 10.6 ET.- Gulfport dragway is the worst track i have ever been to, i was spinning the slicks in 4th gear on the limiter, and pulled a QTSTRN and almost did a lane change!

@ IFO

- Sitting in staging lanes, SRWD goes 1st.
- Mazworks car breaks
- Sponsored MR2 breaks
- 3 More civics break
- This is in the first 20 minutes!
- I start to wonder!
- Pull up to the burnout box, burnout, stage, 2 step, let the clucth out & go no-where, free rev to the limiter!
-Buddy grabs my trusty 450R and tows me back to the trailor

-Scramble with danny from SPEC and andy from PRO-performance to try to get parts to get it repaired but no luck.


so i netted a big fat goose egg. haha
