Doesnt need anything but a better 60 foot to run 8.80s

155mph with a plain old PT88 at that weight is impressive..

made the drive home safe, uploaded the only three slips of the weekend.

didnt bring anything back from the car show

its an off the shelf pte88 t4 .96 through forced inductions

looking at the replay data both launches were around 4000rpm and 7-8psi we were practicing on a sport tree so i had plenty of time considering i double bulbed the other dude every time

2 step is not hooked up at all at the moment

ya very happy with the converter.. jims trans is holding STRONG in overdrive out the back door.. everything is working really good.

i have a moser 12 bolt with 3.42 ratio (hence having to go into OD) 33 spline axles and and whatever HD posi unit they sell for the 33 spline axles.

awesome are you still at 3750 race weight?
if so that would be around 1090rwhp!

i had confidence that turbo could do well over 1000rwhp.
cant wait to turn mine up.

3750 was the formula with m6

this car weighed 3870 at the same track last trip i made there, i am certain it was within20# of that this weekend.

i am interested in seeing how it does as raced then on the dyno. i have to figure with the auto its not quite over 1krw, maybe 950. i can't see how it would gain rwhp from switching to auto. the last time this set up was dynoed was when it was in the formula and did 995 and actually i think the tune is only more conservative now. but you never know.

i was shifting out of third at 6400 which was 134mph so the last 21mph i gained was in overdrive... and with that it still gained 31 in the second 1/8th
