I went a 13.618 @ 101.78 Fifth pass Ive made since 2003 ! I gotta back into the groove. Ive picked up about two tenths every pass Ive made so far. Might hit ATCO tomorrow

Stage 1 COBB on this pass.

Temp. 85 - 45% Humidity

60'- 1.956 (On 2 step)
1/8- 8.723

MPH- 101.78

Well done! Nice 60'! I bet you could hit a 1.7 60' with that setup and a stellar launch

[Oh! Snap!]

I would be happy with a 1.8 or so. I figure every tenth I can get off my 60, Ill take 2 off the top. My clutch wasnt too happy tonight though, honestly I could care less. They're replaceable. Im using snow tires too so that may or may not be helping me.
I think if I do a handful more passes Ill be deep deep into the 13s. Then Ill do some more mods....I would also like a temp drop too.

A glazed clutch is better than a broken gear. WRX transmissions aren't known for their strength, so I would trade 0.2 seconds off my 60' for a healthy tranny () any day.

A lot of the track regulars take bags of ice to set on the intercooler between runs. A couple passes and an hour in the sun = some nasty heat soak.

[Oh! Snap!]

Yeah.....tell me about it. Bags of Ice, Water misters, Dry Ice, Alcohol in spray bottles.....This isnt my first turbo car, Ive tried all kinds of tricks to keep those damn things cool. Think Im gonna set up a CO2 sprayer on this one and see how she goes. Never used one before. If it doesnt work, just take it off.

Air duster canister turned upside-down?

[Oh! Snap!]

Yeah, but like 100 times bigger. If you're not sure what Im talking about. Google: DEI CryO2 for example.

I have a DEI CO2 sprayer collecting dust in my garage. I tried it on my supercharged stang, and it didn't help. Never tried it with my WRX or Evo. I'll sell it cheap, if anyone is interested.
