Best run of the night I did not get on Video,
60ft. 1.76
330ft 4.89
1/8th 7.43 @ 97.6

1st run on vid, poor traction 1.92 60ft. 7.65@97.7
2nd was better 1.79 60ft 7.46 @96.2
Vids not high quality (amatuer)

every time I do something to the Car I end up having to spend more money to get the benefit from it, now I need to replace the Intercooler, and hopefully do a FFI. just don't know If I can scrounge the money up yet this year but I hope it all works out.

Great job toyman. My best is 8.24 @ 84mph so I would look like I was going backwards up against you. I just installed some 3.91 gears instead of my 3.73, but I don't know if it's going to help me or not. Are you running nitrous? I thought I heard him say something about you purging.

I use Nitrous to spool the turbo, It's controled by the AEM, probably sprays for maybe a second at the most. I just refilled the bottle, after two years I used 6lbs. LOL It has taken 60ft times from 1.95 without to 1.67(best) with good traction. I ran the purge line to a homemade Intercooler sprayer, figured why waste it.
Been debating about spraying the whole track, haven't done it yet.

I am itchin to go to a 1/4mi. track the one fairly close has shut down, now it's 3 1/2 hrs away, I drive my car to the track, don't have a truck & trailer so it's a little scary. I have drove to the track since 99 and it hasn't left me walking yet, It has been a very reliable car for me so far. I know I'm pushing it.

Thats going to be a fast 1/4mile car, congrats and nice choice on the turbo :)
You are what inspired me to get that turbo:icon_razz
Now I have a backup at the intercooler, Intake air temps are going through the roof and it is limiting the amount of timing and affecting HP #s big time.
I need a FFI &TB. I was going to order one from Ron R. two days after he announced He was no longer going to build them, Can ya hook a brother up:biglaugh:

Hey Upgraded, I ran 11.81 in the 1/4 before, with a 1/8th at 7.67 So I'm getting a little closer to my goal.
