Pasir Gudang night sprint

Two nights ago J's car had a stalling problem that didn't seem to have a reasonable solution. So it's with a sense of relief and elation that the car ran last night at Pasir Gudang, not only without stalling, but also turning in some decent results.

More work remains to be done as the MAP sensor shows the car is only boosting at about 1 bar @ 5500 RPM in first and second gears, and about 1.3 bar in 3rd. J would also need to adjust his shifting technique since GCIC was on but years of muscle-memory can be hard to overcome.

Launch control on, antilag off. Logged data shows century sprint in about 3.3s. It reached 20m in about 1.7s, 300m in about 9.5s at 176.9 km/h. According to this little rule of thumb that would mean a 1/4 mile ET of about 11.4s.
