How much boost and what fuel?
18-20 lbs on 93 octane.... Car now has a ported exhaust manifold, Turbonetics turbo (I don't know the specs) .64 A/R, 2.5" swing valve, 3" downpipe, and a stock two-piece intake. Had to relearn how to launch the car without it bogging, but pulls
nice up top. Best MPH of the night was 83.93. I'd like to have seen 84.... 85 mph is a goal for the season.
Yeah I'm trying to hit 80mph in the 8th in the Lebaron on a stock head and turbo, closest so far is my 9.34@79.79
You're right there! With a stock turbo, 2 1/4 swing valve, 2 1/4 downpipe, one-piece intake, street tires and at the same
18-20 lbs I was running 9.4's at 77-78 mph. Put on a set of slicks, first pass was 8.95 @ 80.5 mph. After a few passes it
was 8.7-8.8's at 81 mph. Changed some parts and went faster but couldn't ET. I was missing the stock turbo for a little
while! Lol.... I'm plumbing in a front mount now and should get to try it out next Friday.
You need a set of slicks and your car will be a different animal!
Yeah I know slicks would put me there, but I want to hit 80 on street tires too
It's not the best I've ever done, but it's getting there.

About 25 pounds. It's going past the rings pretty bad and the turbine wheel is damaged, so the lag is pretty bad now. I'll fix them up next spring probably.
Yeah, been there, done that, lol. Nice time though,

12.99 is my goal. I need to get another 200lbs out of the car to get there. That's going to take some serious work (to keep it legal).Knocking on the door to 12's, all with a stock 2.5, Mitsu and no intercooler, impressive
