Just doing some bench racing here... I'm a little bored and curious to hear other's opinions. My dad has an 89 Caravan ES with a fresh rebuilt 2.5, T2 turbo, T2 I/C, 2.25" pipes, a mildly ported G-head, a stage 3 FWD Performance calibration, +20's, 2.5" open downpipe, and he ran 18psi. He also had a RMVB, 5 clutches, and 5 planetary gears, along with a PG posi.
He went a best of 13.97 at 98mph cuting a 1.92 60' on BFG drag radials.
My van, has a mildly ported 782 head with +1mm valves, a heavily ported exhaust manifold, T3/T04E 50 trim turbo with a S2 wheel, Spearco alky injection, fresh rings, 2.5" SV, 3" DP back to a Dynomax ultraflow to the side. That's all for now and I'm guessing on 14psi I should be deep into the 14's, but I want to get a large 32x20x3 FMIC, 2.5" aluminum pipes, +40's and run somewhere between 24-26psi on 93 with the alky. I'm guessin low, low 13's should be possible. I also am debating between rebuilding the 413 with the similar setup to my dad's or sticking in a 555 with a 4puk clutch and a 2,100 lb pressure plate, I'll also get a Blak Trax posi no matter which direction I go.
I also need to find some good slicks. I wont be doing any weight reductions other than the removal of all back seats.
