Finally at last!!! Hit 11's
ya your traps are not to damn good...esp. in the 1/8..my best in the 1/8 is 8.1 with a 88mph trap..but you have alot more in your car...should be good for a low 11

Most 400whp stock turbo cars run these traps if not higher.

Its about time Charlie. However, you are still running stock turbo times. I went 11s at 118 on the stocker, on pump gas, on 18s. Just to rub that in
You went 124mph before, so not sure why you car is running so much slower. Id check to see if any boost leaks or something, because you had basically a 4-5mph drop from last time and thats not good.

Thanks, The fire suit/jacket cost me $80. I didnt even have a choice of color
plus the lady wouldn't even budge on the price for me
Yeah the one question that the tech got me on was when he asked me how fast the car is, I gave him an estimate....uhhhh high 11's low 12's, then he says stock turbo? Then I'm like no, aftermarket.... then he says well, you have to buy a fire suit!!!
I was wondering why my traps were so low, I have some ideas though, maybe cuz it was friggin hot out today, and also I was running on 18" wheels....
thanks I have to go back on a cold day, with some lighter wheels and see how the car does, honestly at my power output I was hoping for 125-127 traps

congrtas charlie!! I told them I have a stock turbo(I do)....and the guy never second guessed me or asked to pop the hood. They don't care enough to check. My battery wasnt even tied down.
congrats! I've been trying for the last month to get into the 11s I feel your pain....had at least 20 12.0 slips. I wish I ran your 1/8s I think my best is a 7.7 or 7.8 at 90mph. I also wish I only weighed 3298, Im at 3500...I need to go on a diet.

BTW guys I think I may have a boost leak somewhere, although I have been doing boost leak tests I havent pressurized my system enough....
I have been setting my air compressor to 30 PSI, but in actuality I need to set the compressor to like 70-90 psi and watch the boost gauge
