i dynoed at 320whpand 300 tourque on 19psi....thats before cams (which numerous times i've seen 50whp gains alone), custom TT reflash, fuel pump. i can run 24-26psi so i should be around 400hp.....

honestly, you have no idea how bad the track condition was that day. They didn't even let us run for almost an hour while the track crew was getting water off the dragstrip!

I normally can get consistent low 1.6's. This day I ran 2 1.8's and 2 2.0's. HORRENDOUS.

quite a few cars crashed this day as well becuase of the traction isssues.

there was water on the starting line too, since all the cars have to go through the burnout box and since most of the cars have treaded tires...well...it was cold enough that the water wasn't evaporating as fast as cars were dragging it to the line.

next time it is just sprinkling out before it rains. try launching from a stoplight...then you will know sideways. fun stuff.

Hey Justin, you know Jim from rx4speed? I think I met you. I own a yellow Evo. I saw you at his old shop and met you again in front of Dick's sporting goods.

Great run for such bad conditions. I know what it's like to try to put together a good run in crappy conditions. Atco sucks for AWD.

Nice vid.

I love the sideways action too. Wouldn't you have had to ease off the throttle a bit to straighten that up?

Finally some new vids to see.

I am pretty sure the high 11's are not out of the question. You had no traction in that 12.4 run. What happened to your wing? I remember you fried your clutch or something with your tranny a while back. I guess it's fixed. What clutch you have now? I also know that Sheppard racing builds bulletproof drivetrains and trannies. Have a Merry Christmas by the way!

Hey Justin, I just checked out your website. You have some serious s**t on your car! I see you have a Turbotrix flash. I was thinking of seeing them for a flash in the future after mods. But first I want to get a base run. How are they to deal with are they cool? Have you had any problems with your flash? You gotta take me for a ride in your car one day.
