Great job Curt, you are not human, as a side note.

Very glad I had a chance to tune the car and verify that you do have a stock turbo on the car.

Guys, this is not a WR, a 20G or anything else. It is a STOCK turbo with a 10.5 housing on it.

The car on our dyno made 395 whp, the final torque was around 370 if I remember right. I actually was able to hit 400 whp with it but the tune wasn't safe enough for me to let the car leave. I backed it down.

Also, when I tuned the car I actually turned the knock control on to make sure the car stayed safe.

I talked with Curt this morning and he said just as I tuned it the car ran 10.65 at 126.71, this was the first pass. He pulled a few degrees of timing out of it as it was bumping the knock sensor and that's when he ran his two fastest passes..

Congrats Curt!! You definetely can push a combination further than anyone else!

How much boost/timing are you running? Assuming c16 @ what a/f? How much weight removal? Revving to what, 9k? Awesome driving, amazing you ran those times with sub/around 400hp/tq.

Ps. Is this with factory usdm evo8 gearing?

Even back when he was running 1G DSMs, there was always a CB correction factor. Much like trying to compare times from Denver to those in Miami can be tricky, you can never really directly compare Curt's times with small turbos to those of the average Joe.

You mean other than the ETs and traps in this thread? Curt previously held both records and then beat himself by .4s and 3mph or so.
