OK - more testing

I'm wondering if this is having any impact at all

OK - adjusted all the way in, and back out 2 full turns:

20.31 sec @ 73.5 mph

3 full turns:

71@20.45
74.8 @ 19.86

3.5 turns

72.6 @20.5
77.5 @ 19.3 (OK- I call fluke on that one)
73 @ 19.93
74.8 @19.83

3.75 turns
75.3 @ 19.64
72.2 @ 20.12
75.4 @ 19.63
(there is a run in here that I bailed out of b/c some jackass actually thinks I'm drag racing! I'm stuck in a lane I'm trying to get out of but the wack-job won't let me over - I bail *hard* out of the run as some construction stuff is coming up fast - the one day old Michelin X-Ones perform awesome just barely starting to lock and yell loud when I've scrubbed enough speed to veer into an empty cosco parking lot - OK - I'm wiggin' out - how did that get so ugly so fast! I start wondering if this is just nuts. After chilling for about 5 minutes I now stop testing off a light like I did that time - and promise myself to wrap things up quick and go home!)

4.0 turns

72.9 @ 19.97
74.6 @ 19.80

4.25 turns

75.6@19.55
73.5 @ 19.81

(OK - took a break as I've literally been running back to back runs for 30 minutes - the temp gauge is starting to move up - the turbo must be hot as hell and the oil has to be darn hot - I take her for a "cool" down lap of about 55 for about a mile or so - she quickly gets back to her normal 85*C range - I exit the freeway and try one more blast)

74.2 @ 19.65

Thats a wrap. I'm not sure if I'm get any closer to "optimal," but I'm out of the 20 sec range for 1/4 mile times..... 0-60 time is "flashing" during the G-Tech runs in the 13.5-14 range

thoughts?
