11.365@122.14, stock turbo
Curt, congrats on the runs you made, they are amazing!!! And guys I've seen this man launch and shift an AWD DSM like very few out there can. Those are awesome times.....BTW I'm selling my BR500 turbo with manifold, stainless 02, and braided oil line for say $1,600? if interested PM me? Thanks and as always GOD BLESS!!!!
Congrats Curt.. Its only a matter of time that someone hits a 10 on a stock or stockish turbo.. Old school power tricks make the biggest difference.. Good driving can't hurt either. The one major difference is you get to make these bad-assed runs, and still not have to compromise street manners for the most part.
Even if I saw the timeslip, I don't believe CB did that time/mph on only his advertised mods. He has something up his sleeve, whether it be nitrous or a heavily modded stock turbo (bigger compressor, etc.) Also, massive weight savings could have helped dramatically.
I'm amazed someone hasn't went for the 10's on the stock turbo with nitrous.
[QUOTE=metaphysical]As someone I like on the forums, you need to check reality. You doubt this because it's so much slower than Vishnu's times? David Buschur has several cars in the 11's on the stock turbo. The EMS really gives a huge advantage
tellin' it like it is.

Great times and good to know that the stock turbo is capable of such times in the right hands. BTW Are you still on the stock tranny, stock gears and how much she weigh. Just wondering. FWIW Curt you are definitely in your own league.

The EMS really gives a huge advantage (although not the best for cold-weather daily drivers). To give you an idea of how much of an advantage the WHP numbers Vishnu put down on TT's dyno were significantly lower than EMS equipped cars. Now add the Buschur stage 4 package, a Magnus intake manifold, Curts driving and Davids tuning, this gives you 11.3 @ 122.

My simple point is this: this is not the typical racer. He has tricks up his sleeve that he doesn't feel the need to share with us. Or, he has removed 500 pounds from the car, or has changed transmission gearing...

Stock wastegate,stock trans, ported stock turbo, Tial BOV, and never used nitrous on any turbo car. Car is 100#'s or so lighter than stock. BR stage 4 parts are lighter, no spare, lightweight wheels, lightweight brake rotors. VP c-16 fuel is used, 21 psi for boost(tested no leaks). Last time out had a few little leaks, wouldn't hold 20psi, with such a small turbo you can't have any leaks.

Very impressive non the less.
