Congrats!

Get some slicks and you should be able to go as fast or faster than Simon ;)

Those are some good 60' times for a van with those tires! I had the same tires, but 205 50's and they spun through 3rd gear in my CSX-T!

Thanks all. I just got home from the midnights & I'm STOKED!!!! Hopefully someone can tell me where I stand on the street radial records, ran on my same cooper tires. Midnight drags do not give out timeslips, but I went up to the tower & got my printout, reads as follows;

60' ... 2.168
330' .. 5.738
1/8 ... 8.724
mph... 82.04
1000.. 11.342
1/4 ... 13.587
mph ... 100.05

I'm only disappointed that my son wasn't there to see or film it, his moms weekend.:( I had a friend there to film it, but he was at the concession stand getting beer :mad: 2 guys from tm.com & td.com were there as well. The crowd was just unreal.

Why behind Gus's? wasn't Gus's van a stock turbo? or are you talking street tires?

I believe Gus was running a super 60 turbo on the van, then it got put on the acclaim. Yes, I'm askin about the street radial records, just crappy tires like what I run, no DRs, etc.

I was talking about the tires. Gus ran all his times on street tires, even cut some 1.9 60's on them

I agree, 1.9 on true street street tires kicks azz.

If I wasnt giving you a hard time you would think I was an imposter ;)

I have to give all my respect to the late Gus. If it weren't for his site packed with info, I would have probably never hit 13s. I think I may crank the boost up, throw in a little race gas & see what happens this weekend. Gus was a genius, & 1.9 60' is just insane!! BTW these passes were made on 91 octane pump gas & stock computer with some Gus inspired tuning.:amen:

Mean Mini's fastest times were using a "Super 70".

That's cool. That's basically the compressor wheel I'm currently running on the GT. 53.1mm inducer, 71mm exducer, 56 trim.:eyebrows:

Oh, here's the one video of 10-6-06. My damn buddy was visiting the concession for beers on the 13 second runs. I spun the tires on this launch to a 14.04. Funny thing is I still outran the 400hp 2006 6.0L GTO. It ran 14.1 to 14.3 all night. They must be PIG heavy.

Well, the dragavan will have to settle for 13.5s this year. Went out to the track Friday night for test-n-tune ran consistant 13.8s with 2.25 60's. I only got 3 passes in, trying to tune after every 2 passes. On the 4th pass, pull into the pits, huge puddle of oil under the van. Thought it might have been boost creeping in through the pcv, so I disconnect it. 5th & final pass smoke boiling out of the back of the van as I spank a Formula. Back to the pits & oil all over the inside of the engine bay. Oil was leaking on the header making the smoke. All the plugs looked great. Got home, compression test shows good on all 4 cyls, leakdown shows good on all 4. I'm guessing I blew the oil seal on the compressor side of my turbo. Oil in the IC tube. Boost was cranked up to about 26psi, but I noticed it dropping off on the 4th & 5th passes. I think boost is leaking by the compressor side, going through the oil return line & filling up the crankcase. Any other ideas are welcome. BTW Dragavan won every race Friday night against all V8 competitors. One solo pass.
