Not sure if you're going to get to see the footage from tonight... I'm probably going to have to source a different camera that can handle the stress. As soon as I did the 60-130 pulls, the camera seems to have had a difficult time writing to the mini dvd. I've been able to view some of the footage, but I can't get a clean transfer of the footage to edit and post. Oh well... looks like I may have to go do it again, lol.

My apologies.

Up until now, we were still running on the original set of factory plugs.
Congrats Tym!!!! I felt this 4.86 was inevitable. I am so impressed and glad that I am so close to your speed factory!

David before Tym does the pump gas tune...I have to go for a ride!

Again Tym, truly an amazing feat...celebration is in tall order!

Okay... here it is... I've posted the link in a couple of other threads as well. I managed to rescue most of the footage from the camera. As I stated elsewhere, after 6 software solutions and way too much time spent rescuing the data... I was able to put together a clip of the 4.86 run. I shouldn't have spent as much time on it as I did, but I just couldn't let it go, lol!!

LOL, I guess David didn't see what some of us did to the rental Maxima (NOSxima) at the DSM Shootout back in '97... I think the statute of limitations on that one is about up...

i had a chance to drive my beast again today. There have been many improvements made since my last test drive. first off, the car starts instantly as soon as you turn the key, just like from the factory. also, the drivability is really getting good. i did a few 3rd and 4th gear pulls which tym recorded from another car. Tym will try to post the videos soon. this car is absolutely everything and more than i expected. i would like to congratulate and thank Tym again for another amazing car.
