Turbo cobra, WS6, 91 trans am, STI, camaro SS, cobalt SS, "oh my!" **VID** Little compilation vid I threw together from a bunch of runs on Sunday. Vid explains all the details. It was a great turnout and I wish I could have gotten ALL the runs on camaera.
BTW, windows movie maker BLOWS! I'm investing in some real movie editing software this summer! *end rant*

Cool vid, nice to see the season starting...although i'm looking at snow coming down outside right now.
Also, nice launch, Mr. STI. I didn;t know it was possible to bog a 30R car on a 20psi launch (sounded like the gate was open). I guess you learn something new every day

Thanks for compliments everyone!
Yea the TA owner was trying to get that kid to run from a dig all night and he was deadset on a roll run. We obviously knew the STI would be quicker from a roll which was why we didn't want to do it. Finally we basically forced the kid to go from a dig since we stopped next to him and warmed up the tires. Right after he yelled "I'm not going from a dig" he was on his 2-step LOL. Guess he changed his mind.

I've got to wonder what kind of power he was making to bog like that from a 2-step launch. He definitely had some boost built up before he dropped the clutch.
Driver win for the WS6 on that one.

He wouldn't really say what it made at first, and then after he raced the SS he said it made 450-460 awhp. I asked him if they had a good idea that it made that and he said they knew and told me where they dynoed it. It definitely didn't pull like a 450 whp car in my honest opinion. Maybe more like a 390-400 whp car. Then after we were done for the night he told me that the dyno was down so they street tuned it and they didn't actually have numbers on it.
Him and his friend were cool, he was just a little hard to read. He was definitely excited about getting the bigger turbo on there so I'm sure we'll see more of the car this year.
He did say right off the bat that the motor was just built and he only had like 1,100 miles on it so far. This was his first time out really beating on the new setup I believe.

At about 360-370whp i start having traction issues launching. At 400+ i can't hook in 1st gear even from a roll. He has more rubber i'm sure, but he managed to bog and stay dead hooked the whole time. No offense to him, but I think 400whp is a bit of a stretch. I'm thinking 360-380, personally.
