i know what you have. i find it funny everytime i see someone ask you about your times hehe.

i did a 2.21 60' last night .. the guy had just put a bit of glue on the track so it helped. but it was cold ... with glue and a hot day, i'm sure i can do under 2.2

No nitrous....

I've stated many times most of what I have done. Ya just gotta look. Don't use the stock tires, I have drag radials.

I have gotten 2.19 w/ stock tires, but that was when I was running 15's. More hp= harder to launch.


someday you'll know what I mean...............lol

your times are REALLY good. i give you props!!!! that track must SUCK ass for 60ft. with d/r 's you should be getting 2.0 or better. if you got 2.0 or better you would well into LOW 13's. i used to get 2.1 on stock p5 street tires and ran 13.8 @ 102.... so i do know how hard it is to launch these cars. IT's A b****!!!!!

Well, I guess you can add me to the list. This is from back in April, but I never posted in here.

60ft time: 2.187
300' time: 6.137
1/8 mile: 9.392(74.92mph)
1000' time: 12.198
1/4 mile: 14.572(94.692mph)
FMIC, DP, CAI, catback, MBC @ 11psi

Yeah the track does suck pretty bad......something about having water seep up when the sun goes down. I have video of the car running a couple of 13.4 and 13.6 passes. It's pretty amazing seeing how fast I get into 4th. gear......litteraly takes 6 sec. and I'm into fourth. (because it spins so bad through the first 3 gears.)

If I could get a 1.9 or 1.8, I would be in the 12's. I haven't gone past 12psi since the new intake manifold went on because the times slow down due to spinning too hard when shifting to 3rd.

 

[Fast lane]

Can you post the videos??please

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

VHS......Supposedly my g/f is gonna get someone to switch it to computer mumbo jumbo....but I'm not holding my breath....

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

If anybody has the ability to switch the video footage...send me a pm.

right on.... i REALLY want to see someone get into 12's on the stock turbo!!!!!(eekdance)
what are you doing as far as shift points? are you early shifting to get into the higher gears and letting the turbo do most of the work?

that's what im aiming for ... hopefully, early next summer ill be done with the forged internals and be able to push the stock turbo as far as it can. i know 12s wont be easy but i can dream can i ? hehehe

stuff to come: pistons / rods, ported exhaust/head/intake, 3" exhaust, maybe a few more little things ... before i start thinking about changing turbo or modifying the stock one

Dinospeed did a good upgrade to his T25 and gets boatloads of power with really fast spool up apparently.

 

[chrisjw85]

Can someone change mine to a 15.0 @ 91.13 mph stock with front motor mount pretty please?

 

[Crock]

16.078

I was really hoping to break into the 15's.
I ran a 16.078 @ 89.43 MPH.
Mods: STOCK.

Put me on the list.


The best part was the guy who does the tech inspections. He asks me if this is the first time I did this. I said yes. Then he asked me if I'm expecting to run in the nine's. I started laughing so hard. I was like, woah... this car is fast but not that fast. Wait until I get some mods on here buddy.

 

[BlkZoomZoom]

Updated-

I shift at 6400rpm, go through the traps on a good launch sitting on the rev limiter in 4th., bad run I shift to 5th.

 

[Crock]

I just re-read the list. Does the flash count as a mod? If so I have it.

Also, my times will most likely improve with more experience. It was my first time at the track.
