I am getting ready to bring my new car to the track. Hopefully tomorrow evening I can bring it out to Lebanon Valley Dragway and see what its got. Here is the setup:

-GTi-R motor
-T28 turbo @ 17psi (turbo xs MBC, holds great)
-JWT ecu 444/cobra
-2.5'' DP, 2.25'' cat-back
-walbro FP
-2'' hot piping, 2.5'' cold
-30x6x3 spearco fmic

The tires will either be 205/50/15 Kuhmo Ecstas, 225/50/14 BFG DR's, or maybe my friends 22x8x15 M/T slicks. I forgot my damn tools in my brothers trunk which is in CT so I am not sure if I will be able to get my 3'' DP on and run it wide open.

I am hoping to see at least 12's out of it on the DR's or slicks. As far as the street tires, I think 13's should be attainable.

I have been practicing pre-loading. Have you guys gotten better 60' times doing this? I am trying to get first and second gears to hook up like no other once I warm up the tires but the e-brake is a little on the weak side.

Any opinions/ideas to help me get a better time are appreciated. I was thinking of removing the hood but I will have to see if they allow me.
