Well the car feels way stronger on days with better atmospheric conditions. I was datalogging the whole time and my tune is spot on, I just need a better track day to see the 106 traps and hopefully high 12s. That run last year was in 60 degree weather with 0 humidity and high barometic pressure... last night was basically the opposite of the conditions I need to see to get the most out of the car.

Honestly tonight would have probably been another one of those 14s @ 99-100 nights if it wasn't for the UTEC. The bolton/mevi 4th gens were running bests of high 15s in the low 90s last night.

On the other hand my buddy's cobalt runs better the hotter it gets... he pulled a best of 13.16@107.4 on street tires with a 2.17!!! Turbo cars FTW when it comes to depending on atmospheric conditions for good times...

I launched at around 3k on street tires, and started to hit the gas as I slipped the clutch, and let the clutch fully engage around 4k rpms then floored it. I shifted a little easy into 2nd then no lifted the rest of the track.

On slicks I was launching between 4 and 6k. My best 60 foots were at around 4500 rpm and letting the clutch out HARD but not hard enough to cause it to bog.

One of the guys last night took a crappy cell phone vid of one of my worse runs, if he sends it to me soon I'll get it uploaded on youtube or photobucket and link it up in the first post.
