    12.4 quarter mile!

    i ran 1.90's on drag radials when i was at 355whp. took a few days at the track to get it down. it's not easy. it takes practice. the raceroots car has been to the track, what? 2 times? its winter, its harder and harder to find open tracks. give them time. you'll see it happen.

    12.4 quarter mile!

    I was trapping higher than that with nitrous. but unfortunately my et's were terrible, because it was spinning through 3rd and some of 4th on 245 drag radials. if i ever go back to nitrous, i will be downsizing the brakes to run a 15" wheel with a serious slick. I may attempt to find more...

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    Indeed. It was either get a c5 zo6, or replace the turbo myself. I replaced the turbo with a 3071. then i wanted to build the motor, so i did. then with the built motor i sprayed it with nitrous. ran out of fuel. added dual walbros. sold the nitrous for other things.

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    My car smoked stock. It was a very light smoke, so the dealer could never replicate. I installed a downpipe, and boom, there was the smokescreen. Idle for long and lots of smoke. They refused to repair it, even though i had been twice to complain about smoke prior to the install. My...

    Clutch

    I have the ACT 6puck (sprung hub). Its good, VERY stiff though for a DD. I recommend the street disc for sure unless your doing some drag racing and you want to be competitive.

    What's your driving position style?

    I drive slouched to the right, with my left arm at 12 oclock on the steering wheel, turned ever so slightly enough to flex my tricep. All while wearing a white T with the sleeves cutoff, or a white tank top.

    How long to wait after ECU reset?

    you surely cant attribute that to resetting your ecu. there are a million other variables to take into account. weather, dyno operator, engine temps, etc. at WOT, the car doesnt use any of the fuel trims to make changes to fueling tables. it goes strictly off Open Loop fuel tables. Which do...

    switching to external wastegate...

    Thats not exactly correct. Running an external gate vented to atmosphere can give a power increase. Why? because at full boost, all that exhaust gas that goes out the external wastegate does not have to go through the Turbo's small exhaust flange, thus allowing more efficiency for the engines...
