Went to Capitol Raceway last night for some test and tune fun.. couple things I discovered...

1: I will never go back to that track.
2: For $40 I should get more than 2 trips down the track.
3: Their track prep is god awful for the test tune guys.
4: They FLOOD the waterbox.. to the point water was running into the staging lanes. Unable to avoid the water at all.. I had to talk to the tech guys about it...

In any event... Matt Robinson at Gearhead has been pinging me to tune my car since I got my new 2016 since I never got to see what his tune could do on my 2010. I pushed off for months but then after some phone time with him I finally conceded to let him have a go at it even though I was running the LMS HPFP.

The only difference between the LMS runs and Gearhead run besides tuning was the addition of HR springs. The LMS E30 best time is 12.799 and the GH best time was 12.415.

Nice run SBS! I think once this intercooler comes out we are gonna see 11's on stock turbo cars more frequently. 1.80 60 foot on street tires is no joke. Do you feel like the springs helped out your 60 time? Or is it to tough to tell with the tune difference.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Yes, the springs for sure had the car coming off the line much flatter keeping the weight over the front tires. That made a difference for sure.

I'm still in Woodbridge. Dominion used to be close but they moved the track several years ago.

I mean... all and all I'm very impressed...

For the modifications I have that's a damn good time. DPs will pick me up .1 to .15 which puts in low 12's without meth... add a full exhaust maybe a bit more there.. add the IC and we are talking high 11's... without meth..

This car drives amazing at this point... so I'm gonna wait on the IC before touching anything else.

Thanks Brad! I offered and implored LMS to dyno tune my car, however, they said (again) it's not worth as I won't see any improvement.. strongly dissuaded me from it. Oh well... I knew there was a lot more in it..

And this slip pissed me off... I ran another SHO that was GH auto octane tuned, stock intake, 3BAR and springs... I had Airaid, LMS HPFP E30, 3BAR... shouldn't have been close... the MPH is there so driving had a lot to do with it... mine is the 12.799 run..

You gained almost a full tenth in 60 foot alone.  A .08 gain in 60 foot is almost good for .15 in the 1/4. We are making similar power by trap speed and I can't get my 60 foots that low. God I need to get those springs in my car lol
