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

His traps are incredibly low for his power level, what are you looking at? This is a 500whp 50trim... Most 400whp stock turbo cars run these traps if not higher.

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.
Yeah I know, I checked for boost leaks the night before and had no leaks at all....

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
NHRA rule...you are not on the stock turbo...fire jacket...you should of just said you were..

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.

yeah it just take practice and maybe a few more mods

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
