    World's Fastest Turbo Dodge Minivan???

    I went to the race track for the first time since 2003....LOL!!!

    I was trying out some Drag Radials. I had to drive it out really easy then slowly mat the throttle. It would still roast the tires at the top of low gear so my ET wasn't what I was looking for......LOL!!!

    The MPH on the other hand shows some real promise

    A HUGE "Thank You" to Scott James for the awesome video footage and for hauling the Big White Box to the track for me

    Nice runs!

    I'd think you definitely have the DR minivan record but I thing Corby has run 12.20's with his van.

    What were your 60's? that will tell how it may run on slicks?

    also, what are the list of mods?

    110 mph?? Wow. If you can get that thing to hook up I'm sure you can get it into the low 12's or better. What are your mods? I'm guessing it's a 3-speed auto?

    LOL, yep, you got the mph record

    Nice 60', should do a little better with slicks, probably get closer to Corby's ET

    I love Pontiacs, but seeing you jump out after that GTO/LeMans jumped off the line was priceless. I laughed out loud! Awesome.

    Welcome back, Terry! It's always good to see the Vets still hanging out with these vehicles.

    BTW... what was your 1/8th mile time and mph as well? Looked like the van really cooks at the top of 1st and 2nd.

    I'm not sure yet but I'm guessing around 3150 lbs.

    I've been thinking about putting a light weight driver behind the wheel

    Thanks Steve

    It was Shakin' & Bakin' for sure

    Here's the time slip stats from those two passes:

    Quickest

    60' 1.97

    1/8 7.98 @ 89.29

    1/4 12.44 @ 109.06


    Fastest

    60' 2.02

    1/8 8.05 @ 89.62

    1/4 12.48 @ 110.15


    You can see from the 60' numbers that I was struggling to get it to the ground

    There's more head room on the tuneup in my opinion but it's useless to make more power at this point

    No it's not.

    Slicks!

    BTW...how much boost?

    And an opportunity for your own shamless plug... was that one of your own turbos you sell and what specs and boost were you running?

    I'm ordering slicks as we speak

    The boost was somewhere between the OO in the word BOOST on the guage

    Yes........it's one of the ballbearing 50 trims hybrids
