Except for the ones where I insult your idiotic trollish posts, those are still relevant. Look around Russell, the only one trolling in this post is you, and it happens regularly when you show up on a thread.

True. We love having you around Ike. :p

polak did you just give up on your canzoomer or is it that no one really wanted to tune your unit.

No Maurice and I tuned it to about 5whp gain without any problems like pinging when the engine was cold.

Then i went after some more power a fine tuned it to about 8whp but the cars knock sensor would bitch at me when the car was warming up so i decided to return the unit to Maurice for my money back i just feel weird asking him for the money and such since he's help me out so much.

It’s for sale with the USB tuning cable and so you can load new maps onto it for $500 if you'd like. It currently has Maurice’s newest map which tunes by MAF voltage input instead of throttle position.

Great job Polak.

Anyway, I didn't see earlier in this thread, how many miles do you have on the car? And just out of curiosity, what kind of break in procedure did you follow for the car?

I realize the driver makes a huge difference, but sometimes I wonder too if how we all broke in our cars will make a difference - from the Racing Beat 1000K recommendations, to those that drove it to the redline right off the lot. Thanks.

When i raced it there were around 9000 miles on it.

Far as break-in i follow the one in the owners manual, there was 1 or 2 times that i accidentally ran it up to the rev buzzer, with 300 or so miles on the car. After 650 miles i redlined like maniac.

Donno if this makes much of a difference but i unplug the battery frequently, for one reason or another, this forces the Stock ECU to relearn this may or may not make a difference can't say for sure but if i drive it hard while its relearning it feels faster but that’s just my butt dyno.

Any for anyone that cares it was Castrol part-synthetic with 2000miles highway miles on the oil.

Anyone think that the 2, 14hour drives i did the day before the strips helped free up some power?

This thread has been here for less then 2 months.
It's stickied because its the fastest time in the quarter backed up with a timeslip.
And its here so that a certain few people stop flaming that the 8 can't run a sub 15sec quarter.
AND If you so choose to reply in a manner that shows more disrespect for either I or this community I’ll be glad to test your rotating IP's.

Sweet................... I knew that this car is faster than what most STI, 350Z, G35, and etc owners think it is. Can't wait to see some slips with exhaust and Cold Air Intakes will do to those 1/4 Miles times!!! Once again good job and yet again another great time slip!

Polak, I'd like to ask something: did you have the chance to measure 0-100mph? Just out of curiosity, since it isn't far away from the 1/4mile time...

sorry if this is irrelevant to the whole thread

Nope sorry the drag strip didn't have a 0-100 sensor, however given what it took R&T an C&D i would guess that 100mph would have been another second away perhaps 15.5-8

Right, thanks. That is pretty much what I thought. Some mags I've read timed it high 16s, which I think is a lame time...
