Good to see you are 2nd fastest, is it tuned yet?
its got a much nicer tune on it, just not a professional tune
still gotta add some parts, lol
no my car is not tunned yet. and my knock sensor is not working either so we pulled a lot more timing out then what is needed to be safe.
lol @ the 2nd guy on the list you posted,TexanTony needs slicks BADLY.
yeah 636WHP is a bitch with front wheel drive. that was on drag radials but it wasa while ago so i don’t rember what type. he is also on stock axels and is cautious to snap them 1000miles away from home. I believe he ran that time at last years sho convention i’ll try and look up his video.
Well I figured you would cut better 60`s being a auto…and if your not getting any wheel spin you might be bogging the car out with slicks at to little PSI…
under boost at a stop i’m at about 3800rpm so the car isn’t bogging by any means but I could have launched a lot harder for sure. I have never launched that at full boost with the slicks and like I said before the last run was the only one that the car would actually build full boost and I launched at half throttle (4-6psi) becuase i didn’t want to blow the run since it was my last of the night.
and 13005TEDGP i’ll pm you next time i plan on going up i think our cars would be a good match. I would like to prove (to the sho community) that the SHO can be a decently capable car on the drag strip, because the mentality on the forum is if you want to go fast straight buy a GTP because the sho is a roadcourse car not a drag car.
:tup: :tup: :tup
Awesome good job alex

Sounds good!
I gotta lol at that “if u wanna go fast straight, buy a GTP” People tell me, if u wanna go fast…buy a RWD V8.:rolleyes:
Its fun to pick on other cars when ur in a FWD family car, aint it?
nice work :tup:
i always was a fan of SHOs

well its true but if you drive a SHO the GTP is the most compared car so that is usually the weay the conversation goes.
Yeah, I remember when there was kind of a “grudge” between the SHO and the GTP.

Its you again… 
Im ‘ericspda’ from v6p.net
Id like to see how this thing compares to my slow ass accord 
No, realy… it is slow… Prety good time man…
you were the guy that thought you beat me with 5 people in your civic? that was a interesting thread. i wont race you but i could take you for a ride.
Nice times - it would be sweet if you could find a way to get your 60’ time down a little though…

Haha…
Something like that, and it was a 91 5spd accord with 4 people…
Yes, yes it was…
No racey? 
And you probably hate me :snky:
Nice job Alex. I’ll have to go for a “boosted” ride sometime. 
The suspension up front is what kills that car’s launch. Most of the hardcore modders on SHOForum don’t want the car to go to far away from having a road/track setup.
IIRC, Mike Kopstain (also should be known to the GTP’ers here) was working on a setup for the SHO control arms to bite harder on launch and transfer the weight more effectively. Too bad he never finished it.

That is right boys and girls your looking at the guy that owns the second fatest boosted doccumented quarter mile SHO. the car got a lot of attention at the track.
my first 4 runs were
13.622@105.14
13.472 @105.22
13.547 @104.73
then i rembered that i bought a exhaust cutout for a reason. So me and nick (hotrodkid) jacked the car up and pulled the cutout. Then nick turns to me and said lets pull the filter so the turbo can breath better, (i wasn’t leaving without a 12 second pass) then i though we can’t pull the filter because my slicks are going to throw rocks in the intake. Nick said no no no the bumper is comming off. open turbo. So we did and about 5 min later we are in the staging lanes, and I have a crowd around my car asking questions and shaking my hand and what not. the turbo is VERY LOUD WITH NO FILTER :evilgrin:
anyway so my next 2 runs.
13.164 @104.45 2.150 60’
13.086 @107.93 2.121 60’
then nick got his wish. he kept bugging me the whole time we were there. common 17psi 17psi… you would be in the 12’s with 17psi common just a little more boost. he is like a fricking crack adiction common just a little more it will be good:laugh_ti:
so he got his wish and we threw my manual boost controller in and went on th back road to test it out. Bam 15psi and a misfire so we turned the knob a bit and we were about 12psi-12.5 somewhere in that range so we went from 9.5 to 12-12.5. So to recap we removed my exhaust cutout and pulled the bumper so the turbo has a open intake and now we have raised the boost.
my next 2 runs
13.057 @108.26 2.162 60’
so now i’m really excited because i know that the car has a 12 second pass in it! There was 3 or 4 people around my car and we were discussing times, and i said damn if i took a good crap before that last run i would have had it! :laugh_ti: I blame that massive bee that slammed into my turbo for slowing me down (big mess for a bee)
For my next and final run I only had about 3 min to cool down the tranny which made me a bit nervous, and to make matters worse I have to leave the car running to cool the tranny with the massive fan/cooler so the engine was a bit on the hot side as well, but it didn’t seem to be upset at all. All of my past runs i started at 180deg on the tranny and i finish the run at a bit over 210deg which isn’t bad but my last run I started at 200deg.
so I am pulling up to the water box and i signal the guy to spray some water down so i can heat the tires without fear of wheel hop. I pull in the water box, and there are a couple groups of people to my left behind the fence that aparently havent seen the car previously. They were poking fun at the car. “look at that POS it doesn’t even have a bumper” “why would you race a taurus” then I brake boost so i can actually spin the slicks 2, 3, 4 ,5 psi bam i let off the brake the tach instantly goes to 7K so i let it spin for a second and the car hooked!! with a ear piercing scrEEEECH!! so i jumped on the brake and almost flew past the staging lights. I hear those guys at the fence “oh fu@K” and “holly sh!T” which of course put a smile on my face :biggrin: . so now i’m at the tree and i’m staged so I brake boost while the other guy staged. All day it would only make 4psi when brake boosting but i didn’t make a run back to back like this before, so the boost went 1,2,3,5,8,12,14 and the car started creeping forward so i let of to half throttle and launched at 6psi NO WHEELSPIN!!! it hook and the run felt fast.
12.957@ 108.36 2.107 60’
watch out shonut i’m on your heals

So your the guy that I was lined up with at the pits! :lol: I was the guy in the red hatch that kept bogging :bloated:
Good to see you break into the 12’s! you were gunning for that all day
Best part about that day was the 9 second wagon next to both of us with groceries in the back HAHAHA . :lol:
9 second wagon? What kind. tell me its a fucking roadmaster woody lol
No racey?
And you probably hate me
no hate, i just prefer to race legaly now that i know what is around. i’ll take you for a ride but a race contest ticket is not something i need right now.
I’ll have to go for a “boosted” ride sometime.
i’m always around
