you coulda ran at 10.2 if u knew how to drive... why were u dumping the clutch you werent even starting in boost.. ease off the clutch nd u will start in boost nd your transfer case will be fine.

@ciliotta It was launching at 6,000 rpm at 9 psi. Last year we had no troubles, but this year the car was gripping a lot harder, probably with the new diff. Until you beat my record, I don't need advice =)

@mam3684 Burn! lol... I don't think you need the advice either. I don't think you would have been running "10.2" like they so factually stated, not sure where that # came from.

Why could you not get it to build over 9psi off the line??

[mam3684]

@eeeen321 I think the reference of the 10.2 was because the current stock turbo world record is 10.21 @ 133 (this car, with the previous owner). That was s different motor and everything, so it's a whole different car.

The boost was only at 9 psi because we are using a 2-step launch control, instead of antilag. Antilag builds 20+ pounds of boost off the line, but it also fouls spark plugs every few runs. Besides, 9 psi gets the job done alright, especially once we dial it in better!

Running 10s wearing a T-shirt, ncie and safe :)

[BboyMobster]

omg

[mam3684]

Thanks for the compliments. I know the car has more in it, and I think we really could have gotten a 10.50 @ 130+ that last run, but the car didn't hold together. The boost was down from our dyno runs, so we turned up the 2-step and the boost, and I just had a really bad launch and it let go. We'll be back though!

[zaksti]

damn! great job. sorry about the t-case :(

[ajy4490]

That is amazing speed for a stock turbo, stock block car. Really liked the in car view.......that thing pulls real strong on the top end.
