Default STS track times from VEGAS

I'll admit i'm not very good at drag racing a 6spd car. Boost was set at 10-11, I tried turning it up but was unable to get more out of it (time to add the electronic boost controller).

1st pass no burnout or even cleaning the tires
12.513 @ 120.01 (2.162)

2nd
12.270 @ 120.94 (2.086)

3rd
12.479 @ 121.91 (2.275)

4th and 5th pass I lost an intercooler pipe but were still 12.9's

I can't wait to sort out the boost issue and go back. I want to trap 125 mph which it should almost do on it's current boost level if I got a good 60'.
I'm still debating on wheter or not to do an auto in the future, it's so tempting, but a 6 spd car is soooo fun on the highway.

P.S. the car picks up 30 MPH from the 1/8 to the 1/4

Not too bad for a stock motor.

No matter how much you want it to, a better 60' won't help your trap speed.

Other than that, I'm glad you're happy.

It has in every other stick shift turbo car i've owned, but I think that would only get me to maybe 124. Either way it will trap 125 on 11 psi, just gotta wait for cooler weather If I took it to SoCal right now it would trap 127 Damn high desert... I've been ripped.
