    Duck foot rat technique...something close to below.

    Hold brake pedal with left foot. With right foot, rev engine to a comfortable point ~3k. Quickly do this a second time. You should notice/hear boost starting to spool. Quickly do this a third time, and when your revs are up, foot off the brake. All power/revs/boost should hit your driveline nice and hard.

    Got it, I'll have to practice that technique a bit.

    I'll post when I'm heading to the strip if anyone wants to join me. I'm planning to do the Late Night drags at Portland International Raceway. I've done those in the past and they are fun because they are less formal and get a wide variety of cars. It also helps from a temperature perspective to be doing runs at 11pm! My new SA2015 helmet shows up today, so should be soon.

    I've tried that dang duck rat foot thing for three years now and never figured it out lol. Went with a tune with launch control. But trying to get a new tune anyways. Will try the duck ray foot thing again I guess...

    Yes #4

    Same stage 1 tune

    It could use more timing but I'm happy with the results. All cats in place and all stock.

    LS3 Grand Sport vette came with exhaust and a new tune. He went home with crow and tail between his legs. He managed a 12.72 once but struggled with traction.

    It didnt hurt...that I had consistant .06 reaction times. Lol

    I'm thinking I'll head down to PIR tonight for the Late Night Drags. I will probably shoot for around 8pm, which should give me enough time to get multiple runs, and the temp will have cooled down a bit.

    Is anyone spraying the intercoolers with water between runs? I'm debating if I want to bring a water bottle spray setup with me.

    Yes

    i use ice water from a 30oz insulated bike water bottles. Keep a cooler back at the pits full of ice.

    Makes a a big difference esp when you have aux coolers intact. I need to pull mine

    Get them pesky heat soaking sumbich's outta there! That said, I would leave them in a warm weather daily driver...and that said, I noticed instant gains once removing mine.

    You all need to just setup a CO2 sprayer system for the IC's, tank mount in trunk, toggle on dash. I was about to, then started breaking transmissions and figured I had enough power.

    Hi Guys, just wanted to update my results from Friday. Best run was 13.54 at 104.6. My 60' were consistently 2.1, I tried a couple different launch techniques, but none of them made much difference. I only got 6 passes in, so I really did not have much opportunity to practice. I've never really practiced on the street either, so certainly some room for improvement there.

    For reference, my car is bone stock, stock tune, full weight, including spare, all accessories and a factory behemoth battery. The only thing not original is the BBS 19" wheels. They should be a bit lighter than stock, which might have bought me a tenth.

    I think the biggest factor slowing me down was heat. My dash temp was showing 84 on my first pass, and never got below 79, even close to 10pm when the track shut down. It was also a bit more humid than normal (for Oregon) because a rain front was heading in that night. There was a very clear correlation between cool-down time and performance. My best run was after letting the car sit with the hood open for about 30 minutes. The few passes I made where I "hot lapped", and went right back into the staging line, cost me several 10th's each time. My worst run was a 14.0 at 102.6.

    All things considered, the car did OK, probably in-line with where it should be with poor air and an average driver. This was my baseline, the car goes down for the 6-speed swap in two weeks. I'm not planning any performance mods during the swap, just maintenance stuff, but I do plan to pull the aux radiators. I'm actually planning to run the car after the swap, but before the re-tune to see how it runs. Then I'll get the Stage 1 tune and see how she does.

    Then I start saving for the big-turbo/intercooler/meth upgrade!

    I'm pretty happy with my 12.63 @ 112. Pretty much stock and running in AZ with temps getting up a bit.

    This is is on my 113k mile project fixer. It's well sorted and dang fast.

    Let me tell you 12.63 is on another planet from 13.54. There is a ton of performance on the table.

    Yeah, trapping 7+mph more, so you're definitely putting down significantly more power. Mine could be losing boost through leaks too, but hard to tell without some data logging. When I have it apart, I plan to test/reseal the intercoolers, and I'll certain do some logging when it's all back together.
