here is something i did way back when running about 8psi so around 270whp

by my reckoning it is 5.6s 0-60 which is not too bad considering it was a very soft takeoff .

I love the youtube comments about the acceleration being fake. Funny how many people don't seem to realize that there is another system of measurement outside of the US.

I still need to get my 8 out to the drag strip since going turbo.....Although I worry for my transmission. And now that I'm in thinner air I know it won't be quite as fast, but I think bone stock 8's up in this altitude (5900 ft +) are running 16's......

Honestly I'd be happy with anything in the 12's since this isn't even a drag car.

altitude doesnt affect turbo cars the way it does n/a cars since you are creating an artificial environment (concerning air pressure) inside the engine.

Yes I am aware....but it does affect boost threshold and throttle response since there is less air. Mainly it takes slightly longer for the turbo to spool since there is less air available to it.

Exactly! Haha, since a turbo isn't fixed to engine rpm.

Ok did a run this afternoon . This was my one and only shot at it so there is way more potential as my takeoff was being very kind to the clutch .
0-60 is around 5.3
0-100 around 11.9
0-110 in around 13.2 . Equivalent to 1/4 mile in the 12s ?
