60' - 1.563
1/8 - 6.999 @ 100.43
1/4 - 10.919 @ 124.61

backed it up with:

60'- 1.572
1/8 - 7.010 @ 100.54
1/4 - 10.928 @ 124.65

Ive got a points race next weekend, so i will try for a 10.79 on the stocker. running outta time to get this done, I'm sure ill be getting a call from Aaron at English Racing telling to bring her down for the next phase . Cant wait to see what the car will do with the red set up.
Congrats on improving your stock turbo time even further My guess is 10.3-10.4 on the FP red.

Funny guy. Your right, 10.301 with 132mph trap speed is HORRIBLE driving. Based on what the OP stated his weight was at, he would have to drastically drop some weight to break 9's on a Red. This is not any sort of a hate statement, simply reasonable numbers/calculations. It took STM a 2,6xx car w/o driver to break a borederline 9 on a Red. The argue about better driving will not make up for a 400-500lb difference between vehicles.

Since were on the topic of driving ability, whats your best track time vs mph?

I ran a 10.16 and a 10.18 both @ 132mph. These were back to back passes. Not to mention my first passes with the FP BLACK. Talk about a big difference from barely running 11.90s straight to 10.1s. I was looking like the whole time down the track.

oh yeah. Any videos of the 10.91 run? I would love to see how great of a driver it takes to to power that down the track with that small of a turbo. Definitely must be some great driving.

What kind of 60ft's were you getting on those 10.16 and 10.18 runs? You were running the full M/T slick at the time?

Your comparison is a bit skewed. At that time, I believe your black 1/8th mph was 2 or 3mph higher then my red wich obviously helped shave time to break below 10.3's. Further comparison shows that while you were running with your boost turned dpwn you were losing something in the back half as you were only gaining approximately 27mph. Not to mention when you turned the boost up you gained 6mph, but only dropped 2tenths in ET. So like I said, skewed driving skills comparison.

Well in that case, everyone's comparison is a bit skewed because we all have totally different setups. How did the 2 or 3 mph that you said I had (higher than your's) in the 1/8 mile help me if I lost it in the back half? I was probably on making about 540whp at the time and you were making 590whp. When I turned the boost back up to the 590whp range I ran a 9.959@138.67. Not to mention my 60' was also about a tenth of a second better than yours (1.47). Far too many factors involved for it to be an apples to apples comparison. I think our comparison is just of one car being better setup than the other more than anything.

Yes I was. Those were actually my first two passes on slicks period. I was getting 1.47 and 1.48 60' though. I've cut a best of 1.42.
