Default Went to the track today

Finally had a chance to go by the track today. Been awhile since I last ran a car there. Anyways, I only had a chance to run one time due to the fact I didn't have a helmet. Well I ran a 13.28 at 110 on 12psi of boost(2 more lbs than stock)with a 2.0 60ft time. Well by the time I go to the track next time, I should hit low 12's to high 11's.

mr2 i believe.

so what exactly are you doing between this 13.28 and your expected 11.90s or whatever, putting a supra engine in the car? dropping a full second off the car is normally power adder territory, and you've already got your turbo. what exactly have you got planned?

25psi, with all due respect, that isn't all that impressive. I was hoping you had more than that. That trapspeed is an indication of your power/potential. And while you have more in it, there ain't 11s except under absolutely optimum conditions.....one of those being an automatic. I hope you are planning more boost or something cuz 110mph ain't gonna do it. I am glad that you got out to the track. Something I can't say for myself. Good luck and sorry I missed you at the track.

So, should we change the name to 12psi now?
Let me guess, a DSM car?

Aw blownchevy, I didn't mean it that way. I don't want to start another online battle with 25psi (he'll win).

25, get those times down man. Good luck.

13.28... Hmmmmmmm. Scary. You gonna turn on the juice the next time you go? If so, better get those pre-nitrous runs into the 12's and into some respectability. C'mon guy, you have a turbo on that thing?

looks to me like you need to drop 2 seconds before we do our race

Actually the car came with a tiny *** turbo, so my mph might seem pretty low. I ordered another turbokit for the car, so thats why I am implying that I will knock of another 1.5-2 sec. With only 12psi of boost, I'm not even close to what this motor is capable of. I still have another 15psi left.
