I already had my secret street (er... highway) this afternoon ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Got back from Three Hills from a job in just under an hour by taking a nice stretch of empty road. Managed to drive a 60km stretch in about 20 minutes
Had to crank the stereo and drive with the headlights on too since the stupid alternator I got is chargin my spiffy new battery at like 15.8V. At least I didn't get stranded out there.
Oh, is this the Chick's Skyline that you were talking about? Saw her the other day and managed to snap a photo with my oh-so-impressive VGA cameraphone.

Yes, it was right-hand drive.

I don't know if it was the cool night, but I didn't see too many people in the stands for the last SS event of the year.
Super Rick got a 13.8@10xmph?
Crappy Kyle had a best of 14.6@97mph..
1st bunch of runs were frustrating, 12mph faster than NA and almost the same ETs. Best run was on 4-5psi in first, then 7-9psi. I didn't look at my boost gauge during the runs, only peak setting after. I noticed after I dropped rick off and played around that in gear I was only getting maybe a max of 9psi on the highest boost setting that I used in 3rd gear. Boost controller was spiking a little between shifts... 2.5s 60 fts. bla bla bla, I had more fun running 16s, but I guess there is next year.

bleah... midterms. I haven't really been online.
I do my dynoing with Reg at rcts. I think that having a dyno day on a weekend came up as a possibility before, but there were too many people strapped for cash.
If you are available on a weekday sometime, I should be able to get you a deal at Regs if I go down and do the hook up.
The only thing I would watch for is the extra load of the dyno and the nitrous. There is no give of tires squealing and there is a whole lot less give in general as you are pretty strapped down. It ends up being a lot harder on engine/driveline than a turbo with the instantaneous change of torque.

dynojet with the software to control it at specific rpm points and yadada if you need to do a lot of tuning.
