We are only running 8lbs of boost. we have a chip to retard timing, 24lb injectors, an Electronic boost controller, an AEM wideband, m30 AFM, and Volvo intercooler & T-3 turbo. Used bilstein shocks with H&R race springs, and used Porterfield pads. We ran used Toyo RA-1s on the autox. The interior was fully stripped out, no cruise, no AC or Heat, etc.....
Needless to say we had an absolute blast!

Very nice job!

WOW! I didn't realize how close it was between us.

The same thing happened last year, between us and xLibelle.

Congrats!

definitely would like to see you car! i'll be parked in the corner where the red cross trailer is. I'll pm you my number.

[Erick]

Where's the red cross trailer? I know towers by the food places and gas station (Arbys, Ale House, Chevron, etc) :p

[silence]

When u come in turn at the main light off of University,the second light (if you are coming from the North) After turning, make a left at the first stop sign...(if you were to go right you'd end up at the Pep Boys) and immediately you will see the Trailer i'm talking about(its a Salvation Army trailer, not Redcross). I'll be in that corner.

Nice job guys!
