    mini runs 13s!!

    Went out to the track last night for test-n-tune in my minivan. All my mods are the same as the last 14.05 run. Worked on my 60' times, I ran two 13 second passes on the same cooper cobra 205 60 R15s. Finally, finally, finally 13s! I have one video, I'll post it later.

    best pass
    60'... 2.169
    330'... 5.858
    1/8... 8.903
    mph... 80.12
    1000... 11.570
    1/4 ... 13.855
    mph... 98.30

    second best pass
    60' ... 2.306
    330... 5.957
    1/8 ... 9.008
    mph ... 79.91
    1000... 11.688
    1/4 ... 13.988
    mph... 97.75

    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!

    Re: mini runs 13s!!

    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 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 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.

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

    Re: mini runs 13s!!

    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.
