Well, I’ll just post numbers and then get into details.

1st Run:

60’:2.667  
1/4:15.016  
MPH:99.64

2nd Run:

60’:2.571  
1/4:15.037  
MPH:97.81

This was my best run. I was having issues figuring out where to launch. I did one 4k launch and another 5k launch. I was having some traction issues throughout the night. These runs were on 8psi on a conservative tune with 11.5 at WOT. I also have some small issues with my timing being a tooth or two off and a small vacuum leak on an injector. Overall I’m happy with the passes, I know the car will be able to get into 13’s with some more TLC and boost.

I never got better than a 14.0 @97 in my DSM.

I had all 1.8x 60’ times, 4 of them I think, is that how many runs we got?

The stock exhaust and cat probably slowed me down a bit, as did the lack of 2nd gear synchros which required me to cheat off the 3rd gear synchros before going into 2nd.

So all in all it was a pretty good night, it would have been better if I had been able to get a 13.XX on a time-slip, but I’l live.

I pulled a run with 1.838 60’ and 13.246@106.01. Not the 12.99 or better I was looking for, but it’s still an improvement.

I ran a new best of 12.073@113.66 with a 1.683 60’

on the next run I then broke… I am guessing I sheared the input shaft on the tranny. Oh well, now its time for a Z tranny

The 1.8 60’ seemed to be the norm for the DSM AWD guys I was talking to. Nice pass, you’re definitely hooked up with the 100 MPH on 13.33.

The axle stripped the spool screwing up the axle and spool…

the good thing is the Axle end is only $150 and the spool was like $200…

It can always be worse!!!

with the spool i can Drive down the track with 1 axle it just pulls to one side real bad…

W/ this mph, i see you getting low 14’s high 13’s if you get the 60 foot down to a 2.0-2.2 range.

You did this with a Hyundai? My wife works for them, but I don’t know much about them yet. Is this a factory Turbo model? LMK. Thanks!
