Coming back from Athens meet got a few friendly runs in with 50trim 02-03 Jetta with supporting mods.

1st pull- 60 kick- He didn't brake boost, i did get it above vac. Wasn't pretty....1 bus. Not a fair run so doesn't count. Laser lit up on Escort, brakes went on. Didn't see blue lights tho :thinking: ...phew.

2nd- 40 kick- Good start- I was ahead by 1.5 car and pulling at 100mph. Killed it knowing the results.

3rd- 60 kick- Good start- I'll say I got him by 2 cars when we shut it down.

I wasn't making much more than him weighed about same, but I am sure it's the tune in the end that pays off.



Disclaimer: Runs were done on a treadmill in mexico and mph = meters per hour. Thank you come again.

I respect them big turbo V-dubs. I was expecting to be even, i was happy with my lil snail. I don't ask or tell, if it sounds like a good run i jump on it and let the road dyno do the match lol.

haha, yeah i didn't brake boost but you definitely had me. The laser freaked me out and yout brake pads were sparking like crazy. good runs though, I do believe you make a bit more power than me.

My front tend to do that, i don't know why. Normal under metallic pads, but i am gonna inspect my brakes soon to double check. Wilwood pads are bit aggressive i guess, they do brake good. All in all good runs.
