Default Another 11 second STS car

I finally did it after hot lapping the car a few times. Started doing burn outs on my last 3 passes.

11.774@123.95 [2.005 60']

also did a

11.895@123.25 [2.052 60']

More traction = more mph
Car is a 6 speed. Bald nitto drag radials. 10-13 psi depending on gear.

Good times Jeremy! What was the DA out in Vegas last night?

So much for the STS haters saying "oh...it doesn't work"

Maybe I shouldn't mention I made 4 passes in 30 mins as well I was beating the **** out of the car. Made 11 passes from 10pm-12am.

I was hoping to get to 15, but ran out of wastegate spring first. It will only go 13 psi in 4th gear

13 psi is a moderate boost level. Thats all this waste gate spring lets me go with the boost controller set on kill (maxxed out greddy profec b spec 2). 10 psi is 28%. Boost is pretty much irrelevant as long as the car doesn't detonate or melt (crosses fingers). I get zero knock on this boost level except false stuff on the launch. Timing was 14 degrees at tq peak and 20 by 6k. Gas was a 60/40 mix of 100 and 91.

I'm really beginning to think people who run c16 in these cars at anything under 25 psi are wasting their money (if they have a good tune). In cool weather the car will run on this same tune on just 91 octane using 50/50 water meth, but when I know i'm going to beat on it i put some 100 in it. Since it's summer I have 3 less degrees timing and only run a max of 11 psi on 91.

I'm hoping the stocker will hold out for a while longer. I'm seriously thinking about doing lq9's, thicker gaskets and arp studs. Then the low boost will be 10 and high like 16-17.... or I could put the 50 shot on it

at sea level on a good night the car would go around 11.2 @ 129, maybe a little faster. Vegas conditions suck

The car is fun on highway rolls though, can you say bike hunting

Awesome times! At first I thought maxxing out at 13psi was a little low with the T67 but then saw you were in LV. Heat and altitude = less turbo efficiency. OK, gotta put this in here for the haters, the rear mount is also not as efficient either. Those of us running 5-10psi never worry about maxxing out tho....
Did some research on correction factors for altitude and F/I, you get half ( 1/2 ) the "normal" SAE correction value of N/A. Not sure your track specs but an extra 0.5 seconds or so quicker at sea level is about right.
Boost on!
