Tonight was the first encounter I had in the turbo low boost beast. I hadn't raced since my car's been down so I was stoked. I see a car with fogs kinda riding my ass for a minute and as we approach a red light he gets over in the lane next to me. At first I was just going to turn at the light to go home, but then I saw that it was a 2006 Si I thought "hmm, maybe he wants to play" and I stay at the light. Since I didn't get any nods or revs, I decided to not hit the two-step launch control (BRRRAAAAAAAPAPAPAPAPAPAPAPA!!!) to give anything away. Unfortunately I haven't drag raced in over 2 years (while my car has been down) plus this is the FIRST TIME I try to launch with LSD so I bogged and stalled and he took off. By the time I restart my car and go for it he is like 5-6 cars ahead. Needless to say, by the end of third I was about 3 cars ahead. hahaha. Not bad for giving him like 6 car head start because my dumbass forgot how to launch. I can't wait for the track to open so I can let it all out there.

Not sure. I think I used to launch around 3 w/o it. I'm just going to hit the two step from now on to be safe. Although I'm not sure how much my motor would like that ...

That's when I hit 390. I'm hoping to hit low 400's on pump. The only reason I didn't break 400 is because I had the gain on my Boost Controller all the way down and didn't notice it like a tard. Hopefully next time I hit the dyno I won't melt a strap w/ my stupid dump tube...
