Another good day/bad day deal at the drag strip, wind speed/direction seems to have a big effect on my ET and MPH, at least I know its not a problem with the car because a couple of buddies are losing 4-5mph and at couple of tenths too.
My car was never the same after I trapped 110. That being said, headwind does affect our tiny cars a ton, more than the v8 boys. Almost always a good headwind at my local track.
Congrats on getting under 2 second 60'.
I'm going to run mine at the strip this winter on the vlad mega tune to see what I can trap, but I'm running a 1.6. Vald you think I can break 110mph? This has me curious and excited, and half hard.
Glad to see more td04 13ts around as there was only 2 others (that I could find on forums) besides dnmakison and I when I started my build.

I think Karter74 is going to install his old set-up in a new car.
They are more popular on MX5's in Europe and Australia, apparently.
I doubt it, but of course it doesn't hurt to have goals. I was honestly surprised to see 111mph, and think it's going to be hard to even repeat, much less beat, even with OP's 1.8 setup.
Well this may go someway towards explaining my "slow" 1/4 miles now. Was expecting at least 280hp on this particular dyno
Not yet looked into the root cause yet but I'm suspecting head gasket as it was cruising between 5-10 Celsius hotter than normal. Wideband was going nuts too, very bouncy readings quite frequently flicking from 13:0 to 17:0 with no lean/rich stumbles you'd expect with it doing that.
Whipple SC mustang was a bit of a shoe once they managed to get it to run without trying to blow the tyres off
det is one thing. bending them from sheer cyl pressure is another, and won't show any signs of det, probably cause there isn't any. you simply might be exceeding their capacity
been there, done that, got the bent rods to show for it
