Saw a 80tq (with EFI) at Thunder Hill last weekend

Hey Albert, that was me, too bad I wasn't around, would've been cool to say hi.

I was running in the NASA HPDE (Group 4) and also helping my buddy set up his RX7 spec car.  It was a great day, the weather was a surprisingly mild 90ish (well, for the Sacramento Valley anyway).

I was out thrashing 80tq in the 20min sessions, car was running very well, its taken some time to get it set up to this point, but I think I'm about there.  FWIW, I was hitting about 115mph on the front straight, running 13psi (used to hit about 70 when the car was stock).
