I made it out to the dragstrip last night. I did 5 runs with only 2 of them being good launches.
13.1 at 107.6mph 60ft 1.90sec 1/8th 8.51 at 84.8mph
13.3 at 106.7mph 60ft 1.96sec 1/8th 8.62 at 84.3mph
I was trying to line up with an EVO MR that was there, he was getting 13.2's.

The other 3 runs were bad launches, 0-60ft's were in the 2.1-2.2 secs. Which resulted in a 13.5-13.6 time.

Lower quality video here.

I've uploaded my timeslip to dragtimes.com My previous times are also up for comparison.

 

Very cool, very impressive!

 

WOW!!!!!

It's been fun watching you make your 8 faster....if I'm ever in TX....lol

Thanks, I can't wait for the video clip but NICE JOB!

I wonder what 13.1 feels like....

 

SWEETNESS!! awesome job!!

 

This is great Adrian!

Can't wait for the video.

 

What was that you raced with a 12.1?

 

You definitely have to pay attention. C5 corvettes run 13.3's stock.
The launch is still tricky. I was unable to use high boost in 1st. Then boost drops off at high rpm's.... so I'm not in the 10psi range much.

Convertible camaro. It sounded nice. Not sure what he had. The other 2 races I got on video were against trucks. (1 was fast).

 

What were your last dyno results?

 

I haven't gone to a dyno with the turboXS exhaust and midpipe on. Previous was 265whp/225tq in 4th gear.
New upgrades include some 275/40/17's drag radials for the rear tires. Hooked up nicely. I also took out the psg/rear seats and amp (90lbs less than before.)

 

That's a great time for that setup! I bet you can't wait to break into the 12's!

I bet you'll be in the 12s once you master the launch. Great times though!

 

VERY nice. Was one of those trucks a Ford Lightening? I've heard those trucks can really put down some SICK times. And they are easily made to look like and average F150 (250 or something 50 ... don't know Fords).

Keep up the nice work. Can't wait to see the vid.

 

Look at the difference .06 in one's 60'ft can make at the end of the track!

Nicely done! God be with your transmission and rear end! :D

 

Nice work man.

 

Beautiful!!!!

 

What gear were you in across the finish line?

 

congrats adrian, always happy when i see results like this from you. good stuff

 

good **** adrian, your still one of the quickest rennesis powered 8's on the forum!

 

who's quicker???

 

13.1 with room for improvement, that's awesome! Keep it up Adrian!

 

none that i know of but i can't vouch for everyone...

knock knock knockin on 12 seconds door....

 

Congrats, yet another excellent performance! What RPM are you shifting the car at in each gear? Scott

 

nice 60 footers..

beers

 

Video can be found here on video.google.com; I'll switch to the higher quality link once it's up.


It's still holding up.
4th gear. When it was stock, I had to shift into 4th right before the line. Now, I shift into 4th much sooner.
According to the RPM tach, 8900-9000rpms. I've accidently taken it to 9200 a few times without the rev limiter kicking in.
Abel's 6.8 at 190mph is the quickest "RX-8". There are several others with engine swaps that are also quicker. But as far as turbo Renesis 8's.... 13.1 is the quickest that I know of.
I'm sure that'll change once PTP gets they're kit out. I wonder what SFR's kits are running?

 

Adrian - have you been tuned yet since installing the interceptor? If so, was it at MZM... i need details!!!



Thanks
