<font color='#000F22'>I made just a few videos from the strip last night. The first one is of Luis and Mark. Mark's in the left lane and you can clearly see his time and mph at the end. However, Luis' time/mph went out almost before the camera got them. I managed to get a screen shot of what looks to be a 10.07 pass (at 70.37 mph). Here's the screen shot: http://wsbf.net/robert/ss/luis_time.jpg
And here's the video: Mark, Luis (http://wsbf.net/robert/ss/mark_vs_luis.mpg)
a silver ws6... not too fast... (http://wsbf.net/robert/ss/ws6.mpg)
an '03 cobra... just a shade over 11 seconds. wow. (http://wsbf.net/robert/ss/03_cobra.mpg) The cobra then proceeded to run an 8.4 at 88 on his next run. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Maybe next time I'll have the battery charged. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

<font color='#000000'>whew ok then thats cool
boost cont. is probably your next best mod.. but its hard to tell a performance increase on an 1/8th mile. Grip above all is most important.</font>
<font color='#000000'>Luis...get an exhaust on that thing.. if I am thinking right, your chip is programmed for the airflow of a larger than stock exhaust. That and a downpipe of at least 2.5" and you should be able to run a 9.5 on a good launch if you can put it all together.
I'm pretty sure the P chip for the 1.8t is a boost up to 1 bar. Not much sense going above that with a stock exhaust/dp.
There was a '00 GTi here a few months ago...he had the chip, intake, exhaust (TecTonics) and a 2.5" dp. He also had heavy ass chrome TSW VX1 18's that would fry all the way thru 2nd if you wanted them to.
you have a lot of room on that car yet.

<font color='#000000'>i already asked the people at neuspeed and they are going to reprogram my chip so that the boost will be 1.0 and a bunch of new features, and the full exhaust that i am looking at is made by techtonics, 2.5", mandrel bents , and a borla muffler
all for $335 so all i have to do is wait for some cahs to come this way and i will be getting that.</font>
<font color='#000000'>Great choices!!
Looking forward to hearing more about it as it comes along

<font color='#000000'>I saw the g60 ran a while back and he pulled 10 flat his very first time at the track. He only got one run in so this would be a very good race... The g60 might have more in it...not sure..</font>
<font color='#000F22'>Looks like a 1st 2nd 1st 6-speed shuffle by the 03 Cobra. Five gears would have been plenty in my opinion especially a TKO w/kevlar clutch. A real rear end would also be nice. Maybe a forward facing scoop as well. Beggers cant be choosers i guess. I guess they wanted more of a "Touring" car.</font>
