Gotcha, hope to see you out there on Aug 4th

 

Yea man I hope everything goes as planned.... What time just in case?

 

No track on for me on the 4th.... I'm finally cleaning up the engine bay that i've been putting off for a while.

 

Heading back to the strip....

Another co-worker of mine just picked up a 2012 Boss Mustang and has challenged me to some fun runs at the strip.....Loser buys dinner.

We're working on setting up a day to run in Nov.

It's race gas & high boost time

 

Still trying to set a date to head to the track.
I've been getting a lot of excuses from the Boss owner....

If he still doesn't want to run ill go by myself to the strip.
It's just sad cause he challenged me first.

Lucky you man. Here in Ohio the tracks all closed down for the season two weeks ago. I never even got to make it once with my workmans comp case and all. Now I have the bottle installed and my few bolt-ons on the car and I am dying to try out my 1/4 mile and get some number, but wont make it til April.
I know what everyone says about the 8 and straight line performance but I think it has a lot more potential than people give it credit for. I know what I want my car to do on the track and I think I have a solid recipe to get it there. Come this spring, I'll definitely be making some contributions to this thread.

 

^yeah its nice to have good weather all year around.......and what matters is you are enjoying your car!

Finally went back to the track... Still @12 psi
Plenty more left in her

Pump it up. For all that Renesis **** talking I expect mid 12's at least. My Turbo Civic ran high 12's, on street tires.

 

Do you spool it up at the line? If so what do you do?

 

This reminded me of an old local and my inspiration for turbo. 13.1 @ 107MPH. oh and the old junky step side towards the middle had a home made rear mount turbo setup

 

Car has more in it.
Again not try to break anything


No two step, just launch at 4k and slip the clutch.

13.1@107 WOW.... No way!

.

 

Street tyres or drag radials ?

 

Drag radials.

 

First timer at the drags. Botched the first run as I went into 5th instead of 3rd. Car was playing up and when I got home I saw the ESS covered in oil and it was causing multiple misfires and cels.

I did manage 5 runs on a detuned car. Goes back to the garage for a retune shortly after I sort out all the minor issues.

ET indicates efficiency. Trap speed indicates power; 115.25 mph @ 3200 lbs = 400 rwhp

weight might be high, so maybe a little less. Nothing to scoff about though.

WOW, someone gets it.

Gracias hermano

The dyno queen/butt BS ends once the 1/4 mile trap speed is known

 

Truth!

found some old footage from 2012 at the track

 

Nice bro!
What time did you run?

 

13.3 @ 104

 

Nice bro!
We gotta hit up the track together one night.


I wish more boosted rennys would post up some numbers.

We need to hit up the track for some fun runs.
