The hardest what will it run thread EVAR!
the funny part is, I built it, and have driven it, and I havnt got a clue. Any of thses guesses could be close.
I figure Ill be happy if it goes a sub 14.00.....today. If it does I know Ill be able to get it to the 12's.
On a side note, it ran 17.80-90's bone stock. I think I put a slight tune on it and went a 17.54 I think at 79 or 80 mph.....LOL

results are in.....and excuses.......or err explanations.
Apparently it was pretty bad air. The abyss of vegas strikes with authority.
14.7 @94....2.2 60. No knock ever, and I kept putting timing in, and in and in. It would have gone a 14.5 pretty easy, but I screwed the pooch trying to get the shift points right onthe last pass. Not enough timing, exhuast closed all night, and didnt get to fuel tuning cause the ps steering pump died. The af was 10.3-10.4, but I was still working timing and shift points when the ps pump died.
It looks like it will still take more timing through out and I have no idea how close its getting, it could be 2 more degrees it could be 6....
The crowd cheered for it, and boo'd the cars we would race. Needless to say it didnt lose but once I think.
Other times to support the abyss bad air idea....
1. c6 z06 13.8 112
2. 4-5 c5's running 14.2-14.6
3. v6 5th gen camaro 16.25
4. 428 rwhp 4 th gen auto on tire 13.7 109
5. 410 rwhp g8 auto (heads cam headers tune) 13.5's
6. drag radial mustang 4.6 with 88 turbo, that I was told went 8.90 160 best was running low boost and went 10.30. It made just over 1000 rwhp through the auto but on kill, not the tune it ran on.
So there it is.....I think with more timing and the trans shifting just right and obviously better weather I think it will go 13.9 on 10 psi....then the cutout and more boost, with the water/meth and see how far it can go.
The entire crowd cheered for it, and people came up all night asking about it and saying it made their night.

Got to ride along for 3 passes while data logging on this bad boy- To say it has so much more in it, doesn't do it justice.
Beating a modified NSX and getting a standing ovation from the crowd was worth the night out for me =)
The van was on a hot streak, Couldnt lose
