    i went to the track today for the first time. It was fucking awsome, i suck at draging... i ran a 16.4 in my celi. But i had a boost leak, i was running 8psi but wasn't pulling so when i got done with the first run i poped the hood and the tubing was loose from the turbo to the intercooler. After i fixed it it started to f***ing rain so no more runs for me. 25$ for one freakin run plus a 2 hour car ride. But all in all, it was awsome, i'll post a pic of my slip later

    heres my prob mafix, she pulls but not very hard. Its like i have a boost leak or something, idk. My reaction time sucked..... i wasn't really paying attention, i was looking at the car next to me, next thing i see is a green light... o shit, fuck bad launch... actually it was so bad u cant even call it a launch. O and i braked early *hits self on head*

    when the turbo spools up she pulls but then it feels like something just holds me back, its weird. I never had the feeling before i took the engine out.

    ok lets see
    new clutch, is it broken in yet?
    everything monitering ok, temps and such?
    good idle, no smoke?

    if all that checks out, does TVIS work?

    stock st165 is suppose to run a 15.6 iirc. They had no real marking for finish line so when i passed the sign i started braking, which was 25 before the finish line. This track was in the middle of freakin no where, it was just a drag strip.

    I'll do much better my next time.
