MAPerformance FDSM 8.21 @ 166mph on 10/17/09

We were able to get out to the track one last time this year and we're pretty happy with the results. At the same boost level of 47psi we were able to gain 6mph with the only change being a compressor wheel upgrade from 80mm to 83mm, big thanks to the guys at Bullseye Power for getting us set up! Unfortunately due to severe traction issues above 50psi (video coming soon) we will have to wait until next spring to take another shot at the 7 second pass...





We would like to thank the following sponsors for their contributions to this ongoing project:







Jay Racing




Magnus Motorsports
Meanstreet Performance

Motor by Gosh (Machine Work)
Straight Line Specialties

Yes sir it is, exactly the reason we went RWD instead of trying to compete on the Evo platform, although I think we would have gotten more recognition for similar times in an Evo

Intake temps were a bit lower as well, so I can't contribute all 6mph to the compressor wheel but it was substantial to say the least!

Congrats guys, great work!

You guys make me wonder how much I might have to pick up going from this little 76mm to something bigger.

The transmission and converter were built by FB Performance in New York. They dubbed the transmission an AO3 which is essentially a Ford AOD minus the overdrive.
