So this weekend I took another whack at the stock turbo record. Really need to get the cage in this thing. Only getting one shot at a time makes it real tough. On on my 1st pass on street tires and ran 1-3rd and coasted 4th at 11.5@106 so I knew the hp was there. The track seemed very chaotic with the event going on so I thought I might be able to slip some fast times in with no cage. So on my next pass I put Aarons slicks on and set the launch to 6500rpm. I did not go to crazy on the launch since I had never ran on the slicks. Well I ran my 10.822@125 and got the boot. Know I could have launched way harder and shifted my 1/2 a little quicker.

I had the car on the dyno last week trying to find some more HP the car made 513whp and picked up some solid hp out the top.

Some test data I have from the dyno

My PS/AC delete is worth about 5hp out the top and a few hp in the peak hp. Dropping the Exhaust lost 50hp and ran like crap. Running DP to the middle of the car picked up about 5 peak hp and almost 20hp at 8k. Kinda surprised me.

I have a little more respect for the big dogs who have no Power Steering running fast on slicks. In the top of 3rd it was all I could do wtih one hand to hold the car straight. Wanted to pull to the left real bad. In my DSM a few years back on slicks you would hold the wheel half turned to the right all the way down but with the close ratio of the EVO it really makes a guy work for it. I know if I ever go to the next level I will do some kind of ratio reducer to make it a little easer with no power stearing.

AWESOME! Next time around it's yours! You car picks up great on the 2nd half btw..Any chance on a pic of your custom intake?

Pic from last week. The SparkTech wiring is much shorter and better looking now.

10.82 - have a mod fix the thread title.

We will leave it. Its a character thing with me

Dunno what you mean.

^lol
good job!

Great job! What are you using to control boost? The red hallman mbc in the pic?

Congrats on the new times!! Awesome job!!

Yes just using a Perrin MBC that came with the car when I bought it.

What? He made a typo. I see no relevance to character if he fixes it. Why so cryptic?

Awesome time, and I think it can get even better with more than one run, but the title is just typo'd.

Great driving on that pass!!! Needless to say you'll crack better et's for sure the next time out!!

ETS parts & English Racing FTW!!!!

Car is a rocket...

Very impressive. Congrats!
