Thanks for the advice. I always put in some 93 octane booster for the track and since I have slicks I'm probably going to lower them down to about 18psi. I'm going to try to take out the rear seat hopefully it's not too hard

Well the person who was going to install my headers this week backed out because they were too busy, looks like I'm going to take a beating this weekend

You were right it was the wheel bearings

Thanks!

Gotcha so it probably needs reprogrammed then.. how long did they have your car in the shop? I'm taking mine in tomorrow morning

Could be. I don't think he's never dyno'd the car though. He said he has never ran on the track before so maybe my experience will help me out

Could be the bearings! Did that happen to you? The sensor wasn't melted but we replaced it anyway and it didn't fix it :/

I hope not, if so they will have to take my arp studs out and put them in the new assembly.. I had a friend scan it and he thinks it's a problem with the abs module because it said the rear driver wheel was going 158mph when it was sitting still lol

He also has a diverter valve and exhaust, im just going by what he told me

I might can manage some vertical links

I got headers on the way can't afford anything else at the moment

Haha that's a pretty good idea. Thing is, I don't want him to beat me at all. He has told everyone he gapped me in Mexico when I never gained traction or got past second gear so it's a little personal at this point.

It's going to be very close then because my car should be high 11s in the quarter. He has told me he has less than 400 to the wheels mine should be around 410-415 after the headers.. but his car is about 400 pds lighter which is why I considered removing the rear seats

Yes it's an APR stage 1 tune he says. Looks like otherwise he just has exhaust and a diverter valve on the turbo. It launches excellent. But at the track with my slicks on, I typically have a very good reaction time and minimal spinning so I'm hoping that will help me.

My best pass without long tubes and with heavy 20" front wheels was a 7.72@93mph, I'm hoping I can cut that down once the headers are on and I throw my spare 18" wheels on the front

I'm usually able to hook pretty good with the slicks on https://instagram.com/p/BMuJol6gOrt/ Only thing that worries me is he might not be completely honest on what's done to the car or he will install some new modifications this week before the run

I typically get around a 1.8 60 ft

That's what I was worried about. I might pull the rear seat out and put my spare 18" wheels on the front to shed some weight

I have a race coming up against a 2015 VW golf R at the 1/8th mile drag strip next weekend. My car has cold air intake, Lund tune, cat deletes, and corsa sport exhaust. I have stainless power 1 7/8 long tube headers going on this week. I have 28 inch Hoosier slicks on a 17 inch wheel and my best...

I will check. If I don't have a catch can could that still be it?
