Default Finally took my car to the track

hey guys finally took my car to the track to see what it can do with the blower. This was on 17" Nitto Drag Radials

11.4 at 119. That was with a 1.7 short time, I know she can go better but I'm really happy with that for now.

Time to up the boost a little and get some Mickey Thomspon drag radials and I may just touch 10's.

Today was Funday Sunday at OSW, the track was actually hooking pretty decent which is shocking, its usually an ice rink.
I'm running 5 lbs of boost which peaks at 7 right at the shift point, I'm kinda disappointed with my mph but oh well i'm still happy.

put more tire and a harder hook and your mph will increase no doubt.

Good ET! I ran 11.7 2.0 60' on the hurt motor that was puttin out @450rwhp and 125-126MPH on every pass (Only made 3 though) with a 6spd. So it looks to be about right for the power etc. the A4 sure makes the ET's look better. Don't forget we are at sea level here I am not sure if you are or not.

Whorelando is near sealevel.

nice times.

Close to what i want to get out of mine. My goal is 120 traps, I don't care about ET too much. (won't be putting slicks or a 12 bolt in anytime soon)

Got Me SOM what other mods do you have and what blower set up. I'm looking at the same power output without getting to 7psi very often on the stock bottom end

jet hot headers, magnaflow exhaust, no cats, a tci converter,a holley air filter and ls1 edit tuning.

Now that I think about I had my heavy 18" wheels on the front I that can account for part of my slower mph.

Packy go get you some of those mickey thompson drag radials, everybody was hooking great on them.
