keithk831 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Seriously, ditch RMR and do WOW. It is 1000x as much fun. You can do RMR several other times, but WOW is only once a month. This is the last test and tune until they reopen next April/May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighaus90 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 On MMP's website it says the first wedenesday of every month through september. Which would make it september 1st meaning we could do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pre-dent Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 WOW is Wednesday, Sept 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 WOW is Wednesday, Sept 8th. There are plenty of midnights are other nights to drag race. $25 to get 3-4 1/4 mile runs, or $25 to do 7-8 laps around Miller. Miller>RMR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 This is the last test and tune until they reopen next April/May. And Wendover Raceway (also better than RMR) is open every other Sunday! Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithk831 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 I agree RMR sucks; I grew up about 25 mins away from Moroso Motorsports Park in South Florida so i'm spoiled in that area. But I really want to know my 1/4 mile time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithk831 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Midnights are the worst... Well and I work Saturday mornings (the curse of work and school full time), so if I can do Wednesday nights, I will. Everyone is free to do what they want, but I plan to be at RMR on Sept 8.

McDowell Performance Tunin Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you get a decent launch, around 1.8 sec to 60', or less, you should easily get into the 13's with your 60-80mph time in the very low 3 second range. Have some faith Keith! Athough the 06 wrx with the vf39 turbo I tuned will rape both of our cars. That's the downside of tuning, driving cars faster than your own... www.facebook.com/mcdowelltuning [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Click Here for Stage1, Stage2 and Stage3 Tuning and eTuning Info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm thinking if I slip the clutch at about 5000 ill get a good time, although that's hard on the drivetrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S402 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 best time was 14.690 at 93 mph. another run i had .068 reaction time but missed 3rd still ran a 15.2 running crappy ap stage 2 map and it does suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithk831 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 I bet with my custom stage 2 tune I could break into the 13s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDowell Performance Tunin Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 my best run would have been around 14.7-14.8, but I missed 4th twice and ended up with 15.6 at 66 mph...my 1/8 speed was faster. my 1000ft time was 12.53 and right then is when I screwed up. It seemed like a lot of people were saying it was a slow night, but my last run, against S402, was especially bad. too much heat soak by that point and my car had had enough. my best 60' time was 2.032. Also bear in mind, this was my frist time ever at the track. Keith, your car is making a good amount of extra power, compared to my car. Because of just the gutted dp and sti up, my top end really suffers and am maxed out on my boost, as far as being effeciant. If you launch well, under 2 to 60', you may break into the 13's, if you get a better top mount, it would really help. It also didn't help I went as a "spur of the moment" activity. I have about 200lbs of tools and crap in my trunk...oh well. www.facebook.com/mcdowelltuning [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Click Here for Stage1, Stage2 and Stage3 Tuning and eTuning Info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't think I can afford an aftermarket TMIC, so i'll probably just have to stick with what i've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDowell Performance Tunin Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Your top end is much better than my car, because of my exhaust restrictions, so you should run a pretty decent time. Plus, if I can get a 2 sec 60' (which I know isn't great, but fairly decent for a first timer) you should be in the 1.8's, with a good launch, without too much trouble. Just remember to not have a trunk full of crap when you go... www.facebook.com/mcdowelltuning [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Click Here for Stage1, Stage2 and Stage3 Tuning and eTuning Info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 If you're running gutted stock tbe, you're still limited at 2.5" piping... Going 3" will help a ton. After Logan tunes your car for that, you may blow your intercooler up and be forced to upgrade! I blew mine up after a short time of being Stage 2. I've been racing my Legacy at the track for 4 years, and have used several maps from TDC, Cobb, and PDX. I usually track after each part I install to see how it effects my run. Same with the wife's car for the past 2 years. Test and Tune is a great way to learn your car cause you can get as many runs in as you like... But we did get held up for a bit last time due to deer on the track. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking I may just stay on the lookout for another stock TMIC, then take my time cleaning it up and JB Welding it so it looks great. But we'll see.
