12.80's with more boost , 1.7 60's

hes still breaking in the engine , it will be in the mid 11's once he stops babying it

with a larger turbo the combo is proven to run mid 10's

he has a gt35 on it still , guys witht he same exact combo running a gt42 series are well into the 10's

breaking it in? thats after the first filter change,,,,jump on it.(unless you are not sure if its assembled correctly)?

hes still gunshy , he broke a piston last year and hes a points racer so he doesnt want to risk hurting it at all as he normally places very well in the points standings , a breakdown would cost him the season.

as he gets used to the new combo he will start to lean on it

hes starting to go rounds with it now , still in no hurry to break into the 11's though

[Project89]

he ran a bunch of 12.60's with the cars ignition system breaking up off the line and down track in high gear


on this run he shut it off at the 1000ft mark due to the ignition system and went 13.0 @ 109
on a side note both drivers are on that tree like flies on poo

Just curious, if starting from ground zero. Would you go with a bigger 60* six?
Like a 3.5. I know its your buddies but curious on your thoughts.
Considering a 60* V6 swap in my 66 Volvo wagon. Turbo of course!

3.4 if ur using a rwd engine, if u have the option to use the fwd engine the 3.5 and 3.9 engines are very good canidates, the 3.9 is alot harder to swap due to some features of that engine

take a 3.5L cam it and slap on a decent sized turbo and it will run mid 10's in a 3,000# car at around 12 psi. of course this includes having the proper drivetrain and supporting parts


all depends on what u want the end result to be and what the cars main function would be

the car in this thread will turn up the boost after aug 30th as thats his last points race, pending the transmission holding the car should run mid to high 11's pretty easy witht he stock 700r4 and 108$ autozone converter that is slipping pretty badly

12.25 at 114mph first pass today , he still at the track so will update later and have video /slips to post

[vinniekq2]

could go 11s with that mph,especially with a small engine

im pretty sure that was off the footbrake, as hes still having a bog issue when using the antilag , that being said he cut his first 1.6 60' off the antilag 2 weeks ago even with the bog and the car picked up 4 mph , it usually goes 1.8-1.9 off the footbrake , so 1.5 60's should be the normal once the antilag is fully functional

if he can get it to work today car might just run an 11.80's @ 119 ish
he still hasnt turned the boost up yet either , i gave imsome things to change on the antilag so well find out later today

[Project89]

was footbraked , its a points race , last one of the year so he wont be leaning on it during the rounds, he cant use the antilag in eliminations anyways .

starting next weekend he is going to really work on the antilag , ill post updates as i get them
