Ran the '06 RS at the local strip...
Not too shabby. I think I'm pretty much on par with the mods I have.
Quick mod list: Buschur Stage 1 & 2, Walbro fp, Buschur mustache bar, Bridgestone RE01Rs, ACT + street lite flywheel, and other minor mods that probably don't help.
Here's an engine pic: http://rufridr.com/EVO031608/010.jpg
I launched at 6000rpm where I was building 12-14psi of boost at the line. Crappy track conditions caused me to spin a bit. 22psi of boost tapering to 21psi by 7000rpm shift. Car weighs 3018lb without me in it. Damn laptop wouldn't connect to the car so I couldn't change the 2-step or the rev limiter or even datalog! I was crossing the traps in 4th gear ~7700rpm. My rev limiter is 7850rpm. LOL! I know I wasn't hitting the limiter until I passed the end of the track because the green WIN light came on before I hit it in several passes.
Cams would get me 11s, but I like the driveability of the car the way it sits. I've told some people in the past high 11s to low 12s, but I set a realistic goal tonight of 12.50s@111mph before I raced. I'm quite happy with the outcome. I'm sure others could cut 1.60s and break into the 11s, but they take a risk of their aluminum xfer case exploding on the line. I slipped the clutch off the line, shifted as fast as any grandpa could shift, and it ran what it ran.
Let the trash talking begin. Remember, I'm a parking lot Autocrosser & Lapping Day kinda guy. This the first time I've dragraced since a 2004 Mustang Cobra back in 2006.
Night!

Buschur Stage 1 includes a mail-in flash from Al at Dynoflash. Max 22psi boost is what he told me. Part throttle could use some work as I autocross this car 99% of the time and it's prone to bucking some times. I'm leaning towards converting to Mellon. No disrespect to Al, but his tune is perfect for dragracing, but I need more STABLE power in the midrange.
Cheers!
