So I was pretty happy with the overall result.. The temps were cooling and the car was really coming around.. I really just spent the night focusing on my 60'.. Its been something like 3 or 4 years since I last took an AWD car down the track..
First run I just botched the launch and under-estimated my traction - came off the clutch a little too quick and bogged it.. Second and third runs i ran almost dead consistant on the 60' 1.865-4.. The first three passes were almost back to back.. The last pass took about a while before I was up - so air temps had dropped and i figured I could get a little more aggressive with the launch coming off the clutch.. Paid off with a 1.775 60'... I figure without being too abusive Mid 1.7x's are about right for the car.. On that run I actually bounced off the limiter in second before hitting third.. Lost about a half a mph from the previous run.. But I said as soon as I snag anything of the 11.9999999x flavor I was parking it.. And I did with a smile..
Thanks to Paul and Adam over at DBTuned in Roseville for letting me get the thing dialed in on that mustang.. As close as the tune was on the dyno - it just slotted right perfect on the street with a little less load.. I was so confident in the tune that I didn't even bring a laptop to the track..
Not bad for an ultra low-budget, full weight, station wagon.. It probably has maybe another tenth left in it the way it sits..
