Big thanks to everyone at STM for being so good to me! This car has become a monster this year!
So, nothing has changed on my car since last time I ran an 11.90 @ 120.4 other than putting on ARP wheel studs on all 4 corners, putting a set of Meagan Racing coilovers on all 4 corners, and then using a set of 15" Rota Slipstreams with 26 x 9.5" Hoosier Quick Time Pro tires. Here is the car as it sat before going to the track tonight:
Evo 9 turbo, AEM EMS, car weighs ~ 2850 without me in it tonight as it was (full interior).
I was running 100 octane pump gas, about 28 psi of boost, and 22 psi in all 4 tires.
First pass I cut a 1.608, and went 11.434 @ 121.88. I did a good burnout for this pass, and the launch was so hard it totally threw me off. I was not expecting it to feel like that!
Second pass I cut a 1.507 60’!! I ran a 11.256 @ 122.26. That burnout was more like most-wanted’s famous burnouts, where I went totally sideways. The crowd was loving it! I feel that I drove really well tonight.
Here is a picture of the time slips for now, and then as soon as Gleason and Shawna get their video’s and photos up, I will add those to the post :tup:
another good basic mods car, fixing weak links improvments to be a gain, and not a “mod”. Setting them up with some knowledge to work together and do what you need out of them.
This is a stock turbo, just not the one that came on my car. I am going for the best I can, but the stock turbo record is 10.2 @ 133 on a built motor and C16. I doubt I will get there.
I am the fastest stock turbo car right now (MPH and ET), that is on gas (the 4 people faster than me are using e85 or methanol). I want to keep going though, and see 10’s on this setup. I am driving it well enough, I just need to get the shifts perfect, and maybe throw a little more boost at it to get there. I have more weight to take out too, tonight was run with a completely full interior.
