Well Chuffed!!

I ran on Saterday at Shakespeare County Raceway (England) for the first time in my S here are the ET and MPH

14.41 @98.86
14.61 @98.38
14.53 @98.51
14.58 @ 98.80
14.61 @ 98.39
14.81 @ 98.58

Then in steps a Mr. Paul Webster and states that if i had a GRS Intercooler ill be able to break in to the 100mph mark and possably 13's and after a Le Mans style pit stop that before i knew it a GRS was straped to my car AND the added moral boost of "if you dont do 100mph your a wuss!" and blow me on a do or die run at the end of the day....

60ft - 2.359
330ft - 6.214
MPH1 - 79.97
660ft - 9.327
990ft - 11.906
1320ft - 14.218
MPH - 100.99

im really chuffed! with the times when all i have is Alta 15% pulley, CAI, Mani, Backbox and GRS Intercooler pushed me up to the 100mph run

also thank GOD im not a wuss!

And another good example of why trap speed is such a good measure of vehicle horsepower. Your elapsed times varied by almost 3% (which is still very consistent), but your trap speeds are all within a half-percent of each other. (speaking strictly about the runs prior to the intercooler swap, of course).

Great day!

Great run.




Just curious.....All it takes to get a MINI into the 13s is a Intake, full exhaust, pulley, good driver, and some tires?

Thanks.
