Thanks Dave,

But due to a series of un-fortunate events, I will not be attending TX2k8 this year. I will be sure to paypal the winner of our little contest my 200 dollars should someone pull it off. Good luck everyone and be safe!

I still can't rev past 5.5k due to ign problems... but I'm going to try. We street tuned yesterday for a couple of hours, got 22 psi on the street. felt really good. Got on the dyno, reved to 5k rpm, and only got a flat 16 psi of boost. The dyno just could load the engine. It was heatsoaked, no fan, 110 intake air temps.... and still did 432@ 16 psi. Not that great, but still took the trophy for mk3 dyno. Going to try 28 psi tomorrow at 5k rpm in the drag.

We were making very good numbers before tx2k8 before my ignition problem resurfaced..... I'll say that much.

I think I did fairly well taking home two first place trophies with a broken car.

didn't even put the big boost to it... I didn't need to. Ran a 12.601 @ 110ish I think on wastegate spring, still only reving to 5k. Although I did launch on the 2 step.

Had the fastest pass of ANY mk3 that went down the track.

Yea, didnt need to because no one else was brave enough to run. I had only one other car in my class. The turnout was terrible this year, I was pretty disappointed.

I ended up with a best of 12.8@108mph with wheel spin in 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd.

Me and gixxer750 lined em up after the finals just for fun. Probably the best race of the night for both of us. Vid will be up ASAP.

So what happens with the pot? Just keep it growing till next year?

I hope so. Putting the r154 back together right now. Since I'm able to keep the car, I have very strong plans of showing up next year to claim that pot ;)

My Suprastick finally just got shipped Friday. After I install that I'm going to tweak a few things, then I'll head back out. Catch me if you can!

Gixxer got some grief for the MK3 showing at TX2k8. Even though he represented as best as he could.
So, I'm officially dedicating my TX2k9 taking of the pot to Gixxer750!
