    Faster and faster...

    So went to the track Wed. night. Got off work, mom and I went straight to it to meet my brother (racing the Acclaim) and my dad (racing the Hemi Charger). Had a full tank of gas, no bother, put the used amount to get there in race gas, which was about 2.8 gallons of 110. I should mention I had a full interior too.

    Anyways, get there, put the slicks on, drive up to get air and well, I had ice on the intercooler and the hood didn't shut. ----! Hood comes up and bends the driver side spring. URGH!!! Ok w/e. 14psi up front, 46psi in the rear. 20psi boost, 48psi static fuel pressure.

    (Going from 60', 1/8, & 1/4)
    First round- racing a 5.0 Mustang
    My 1.9948 -- His 2.161
    My 8.8036 at 77.35 -- His 9.475 at 72.92
    My 13.8717 at 96.39 -- His 14.7572 at 94.14
    A$$ kicking! Get out and do a party-boy dance!

    Second round- racing a Nova...
    My 1.8870 -- His 1.744
    My 8.6801 at 77.31 -- His 7.8311 at 86.35
    My 13.7322 at 96.93 -- His 12.3499 at 108.96

    Last round- racing an SRT8 Magnum
    My 1.919 -- His 2.3931
    My 8.6719 at 77.72 -- His 9.7798 at 78.40
    My 13.726 at 96.77 -- His 14.682 at 100.03

    I kept blowing off the boost gauge line, so I couldn't tell if the boost changed through the night, I don't think it did too much. I consistantly launched at about 3,100 RPMs and shfited at 5,500 from 1-2, and 2-3.

    Before I end this, I'll let you in on some videos.

    Racing the Nova, please excuse the one-wheelie peelie, bad burnout box. Heh.

    And the race against the SRT8 Magnum. The driver let his son drive. Before the driver went a 13.60 so it should've been a great race... next time!

    I wondered how you were heating up the tires at 42.

    Yup, that's how. At QCR I can get them both to spin b/c I do it outside the burnout box, that puts a load on the diff. and both will spin.

    I'm right on your time...bro!

    The diff. is damaged, I can gaurantee that. A new trans is going in over the winter. If it will last me 3 or 4 more times to the track I'm happy. I need a new torque converter too. The OEM one died pretty quick. Any suggestions?

    Anyways, with the new turbo and a better intercooler, I better see some 12's before the season is over.

    Yes, at 20 PSI, that stock IC is a pretty big cork.

    Nope, you have run 13.7, I have run a 13.6,

    I can't remember who sells converters, search around on here or TD. Carl aka Double Trouble knows which ones to use.

    I gotta say, this car's drivetrain is bullet-proof. Today I was 2 quarts low on oil, god knows for how long, but it keeps going!

    I think if I actually take care of it I may break something. Just keep beating on it and I'll be fine.
