I wanted to ask you. What is your 2 step set at? I'm having a hell of a time cutting a 1.7 with my red. I use to do it all the time with stock turbo.

 

Hey Keith were they lining you up against cars with slicks? That mustang cut a 1.6!

 

Yeah, it was the end of the night. They just ran a couple last cars that wanted to go one more time. I thought I had him too. He beat me by like 1/2 a car length.

You shoulda seen me go against this big blue turbo diesel truck. She had a 729whp sticker. I was like, "damn am I really running a 700 horse truck?" She ran a 11.71 and I ran a 11.78. I only won cause of my top end. That truck was filthy fast man. I talked to her after the run and she said she is in the upper 700 whp range now. That sticker was old.

 

I want to be in the 11's club too. My fastest time is 12.5 sec. I just need to buy a after market o2 housing and I will be ready to hit the drag strip. I will be running my car on July 18.

 

Hey what's up man! I was with you that day remember? You are the Seattle Times guy right?

 

congrats! any idea what your whp and wtq was at when you hit the 11.53s 1/4 mile?

 

I made a few minor changes since I dynoed. But if I had to guess I'm about 440 to 450 wheel. Somewhere around there.

 

Nice! Thanks!

 

rt is bad. joking a bit, good job buddy

 

good job,i saw one of your runs...i was wondering what turbo you were running...congrats

 

I havnt been back to the drag strip since last summer when i ran my 12.78 but i was lightly tuned on stock boost with just a TBE...I cut a 1.7 60'ft so I had a pretty decent launch...prolly because I was running up against a STI with a GT30R haha he missed a ****ft but still ran a 12.81 haha...I need to go back and see what i can run now that ive added boost and retuned and im hoping to possibly throw my injectors in and retune for E85 before July...im liking your numbers with the FP Red tho im planning on picking one up here sometime towards the end of summer or early fall

 

If that is your whp numbers, I dont think I am close to 11'a. I am sitting at 340awhp. I know i'm in the 12's easily, but not close enough to 11's like I want to be.

 

congrats man! Feels good!?

 

Nice run!!

 

It's going to be tough getting there without more power in my opinion. I mean even if you did everything perfect, you just need more car in your case.

A lot of getting a good time in drag racing seems to be mainly on the driver. If you can land a sick 60' you will end up getting a good ET. So definitely, trying to get a good time one needs to work on the launch and shifting fast. Lots of big hp cars have very good trap times but bad overall 1/4 ET when the driver just doesn't have enough practice.
