Weather was perfect for the track the other night so I took out my drag Evo. Only got one full pass do to a crash and some oil downs.
It’s no secret that I have bin fighting with traction problems with this car from the start. I took most of the season off to rethink suspension, power , and clutch management.
After not having the car out for almost a full year, I decided to turn the boost down to 25psi to check the tune-up. Everything worked out perfect. Suspension, clutch, etc is doing its thing. I was shocked to pick up the slip and see the car went 9.0 at 155 at just 25 psi. If the weather and time allows I will be heading back out in the next few weeks. Looking to bring the ct9a ET record back to the states.

Log of boost curve.

 

Impressive. It might not be the traction fix you were looking for but sometimes its the simplest things that work.

 

Badass. Always loved this car!

 

Congrats and bad ***. Best of luck on shooting for the ET record. I hope I am there to watch it.

 

nice run, really nice time what wheels are u running and tire size,

 

Impressive times on such low boost must be light! Best of luck in the future!

 

i was thinking the same thing

 

Crazy time bro, congratz. What turbo are you running?

 

Congrats man! Amazing times for 25psi What does the car weigh if you dont mind me asking.

 

Nice pass. Wonder what 35psi will get you

 

Thanks Dan, i will try to make it to e-town and will give you a heads up.

 

The turbo is a FP 4205r. last time I scaled the car was in 2010. It was 2586 with driver(170). I have since added about 100 pounds with a liquid ic, battery, alternator etc. I would guess it’s about 2500 without driver.

Wheels are Welds and the tires are M&H 24.5-8.5-15

 

Very nice. You're going to SMASH records for sure!!!!

 

Thanks for the complements guys. I really want to bring the CT9A ET record back to the states. I already hold the mph record at 174.
