Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Finally got her down the track...

60' ~ 1.937

1/8 ~ 7.493 @ 103.13

1/4 ~ 11.317 @ 130.17

So its pretty obvious that I can't get it out of the hole, but for my fifth time down the track in an awd car I guess you can't ask for much.

I want to thank everyone that helped with the car up until this point. Kyle "ghetto" Nelson who built it from the ground up with me, Kevin Johnson who helped me tune the thing just before track time, Mike at QPR for his last minute welding (once again lol), and also Elite for letting me use their dyno after hours to sort out the several problems we had getting it running right. Also anyone else I may have forgot, thanks for the help!

She's still got a lot more left in her...

Awesome to hear. Is it running pretty good otherwise?

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Gratz Chris! It sounds like you guys found some more power than when it was on the dyno. Are you heading over to RF on the 27th or 28th? I might be over there doing some shake down runs with the new setup on the 27th.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

What PSI and octane?

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Finaly got that beast going.. .now you just gotta tame it and drive it like its meant to be driven!!!


i'll most likely be going on the 27th as well...

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

He said on the dsmlink forums that it was 35 psi with 112 octane. 71lbs/min

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

It's actually running very well, we didn't break or even touch the car besides to check the oil for that matter. we did have some major problems prior to norwalk which we finally got worked out through some street tuning. I think the power level still might be a bit low for the boost we were running, but I know the tune isn't as good as it could be. Plus the stock head and intake manifold don't help lol.

As far as Rock Falls, I am considering going and trying to get into the 10's, but without a cage I probably won't get more than 2 attempts...

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Just back out of it if the launch isn't that good. I will probably be doing the same thing. Or you can roll 2' through the lights, wait a few seconds, then launch it.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

didn't rock Falls change it to 11.4 before you need a cage? or 130mph?

I think since most people seem to have trouble running good times at the rock. You'll probalby get quite a few attempts at it.

Wish you all the best of luck. My car looks like it'll be running for Moroso import nationals this weekend. But won't be tuned or broke in. 500miles is a hell of alot around this area. If I had like 4 days more I could do it. But 1 day isn't enough

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Hop on 95 and head north! Yeah, RF is 11.49 before you need a cage.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Your welcome for the tune. and I hope things keep going well. I have a few more ideas about the power issues and stuff too So well see whats up. Norwalk was one of the best times I've had so far it kicked ass!

Kevin

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

..i helped too? sorta..anyway, good times..glad to hear your car was running better then the way we left it that one long night. Still, for the boost you are running, I am suprised you're running soo "slow"..

-A. Swift

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

what did you get on the dyno?

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Rock Falls is such a waste of life. I wouldn't ever bother going there for a serious ET. Good luck with the car though. It is missing quite a bit of power but at least its still very quick.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Im curious as well, i hope to be at that Poundage someday...what would you consider "low" hp at 35psi?

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

for that size turbo/set up 130mph trap isn't that high. Considering he's running 35psi.

I believe he's running a Full T4 with a 2.4L motor and all the goodies.

Seems 130mph trap for 1G's seem to be around low 500whp range. (anywhere from 510-530whp)

However Chris I believe is driving a heavy bubble car which means he might be running a bit more power.
Anyrate great mph and great time Just needs to work on the launching/60' times and he'd be into the 10's.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

His car isn't all that heavy, it is pretty well gutted. There is still some more they are going to do, but it has to be well under 3000 lbs. When he was at the track that should have been low 500's for HP. Kyle thinks it is more like 600, but I think that is a little optimistic. It is holding up well though, which is good for a DSM!

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

There's no way that's making near 600whp. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if I was to guess, I'd say it's probably 525ish, 540 at most. 600whp and a 2900#ish car should be a 134-136 mph trap. Just my .07 ; As an example, my pos last year weighed 2995 w/ me in it and was running about 560-580 whp at the track and trapped 132.90 so yea...

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Got to see the car for awhile at the cookout today. I guess it needs a couple more things, but that fucker was tight! Gotta commend Kyle and KEVIN for a job well done. 4 inch exhaust... what? :) Good job guys!

Who the hells Steve? :)

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

How many miles are on the new bearings? Did it drive there or was it trailered?

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Car sounds way flat on acceleration, atleast when I heard it yesterday. I would say 500-550whp tops for those trap speeds.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

The car is lacking power, thats for sure. But at this point the untouched head and stock intake manifold are definately holding it back. Also, a bogged launch that went as low as 3500 RPM's in first probably contributed to a much lower ET and a slower trap...

But I think I have figured that end of it out, just ask Fast Mark :) We had a little run in with his El Camino last night...

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

since when did fast mark have an el camino?

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Fast mark doesn't have an el camino. That was his friends. He has a ford truck, and his mustang. Currently, his stang is apart, because he's sold the wipple, and going with a t-76 turbo setup with a t6 flange..good for hopefully 1200hp. Anywhos, good launch chris..you shot some flames, and that second race with the fouled plugs..hope ya get it sorted out bro..

-A. Swift

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Very possible, all I know is that Fast Mark was driving it... Is there another mustang with a T76 on it already? I raced a silver one with chrome wheels the other night at uni from a roll, it was some girls car with a T76 on it. I'm guessing it wasn't making 1200+ because at the top of fourth it looked like it was a few cars back ;)

CC

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

She said she made 618whp on 10 psi but who knows. Maybe you guys should race again because I missed it. Dustin raced her and I guess it was a real close race, then raced Nate and that was a close race too.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

She needs to crank it up to 12 psi, cause that's the sweet spotfor that thing. but anyway, nice dusting..when you gonna upgrade the intake?

-A. Swift (posting under cher's name, cause I am at my second home-elite :-/)

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

It's all about the money, but we're not done with the current setup quite yet ;)

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Who is Steve.. last time I remembered My name was Kevin because I built that exhaust with Kyle, along with a little bit of the car. Kyle did a lot of work though for sure. I was in the car when that mustang raced Chris and he put about 3 or 4 cars on that turbo stang from a roll.

Kevin

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

lol, What in the world are you talking about? Sure looks like I said Kyle and kevin to me :)

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Hey Chris, this is Bryan from the Budget Inn. I'm the one that has the 95gsx and helped you with the settings on dsmlink at the shootout. Congrats on the decent time. I think before we left you ran a 12.x at like 125. A little better then the 100 hp made at the dyno the day before. I wish I could have seen it run but we had to make it back to Chicago. Good luck with your car and ditch that damn stock intake manifold and upgrade :)

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

130mph for a car with an unported head and stock intake is smokin! And it's street driven? It may not be the world's fastest DSM but that is very impressive none the less.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

I went 11.0@128 in my car last year. I also had a stock intake manifold and a 2.0 with a 60trim.

~John

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Where was that also John?

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Rockfalls raceway ;).
Don't forget the shitty intercooler, and the fact that it was at 32psi.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

What did Nash trap with ~550 whp? Somewhere around 123 if I remember correct? I think everyone is putting way too much faith into this HP vs. Trap speed phenomenon.

Using the speed method calculation with Shanes highest trap of 137 you would get 602 whp assuming his car weighed 3000 lbs with driver, and If I'm not mistaken he made a little more than that...

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Everyone should stop Crying about this. I dont see one person thats talking on here Except Cher, and Shane that has seen 130 in the 1/4. Go get your cars and run 130mph traps then talk. I dont see why everyone is putting Chris down for having a fast car. It is a fast car hands down. If none of you really believe me. Then race him. I'm sure hes down for it.

Kevin

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Chris, nice job on the car, I like that you have raced just about anyone who has asked. I don't doubt your car will run a ten sometime soon.

Chris is one of the nicest DSMers I have met. I'm sure he is happy to have his car running and the fact that he is knocking on the door to a 10 second run. Be patient. Not everyone has the funds or time to throw together a complete setup right away and make 600hp+, 500hp+ is nothing to sneeze at, 11.3 at 130 with a bad launch is not too shabby either. :D

Chris I'm glad to see your car on the street, keep that car running and racing, there isn't shit for DSMS on the streets around here right now you are the quickest one.

Jim

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

3000lbs with driver? I wish. It was probably around 3250 with driver back when I went 138mph. I hope to get it down close to 2800lbs without me in it, but that still puts in well over 3000lbs with me in it. :)

Your car was probably starting to get into the mid 500s with the extra boost and whatever changed on the car. Kevin said the car just kept getting faster and faster without changing much throughout the day. Maybe some rings are seating or breaking lose or something.

Re: Shootout Results ~ 11.31 @ 130 mph
 

Nash trapped at 129 when he made 508whp and he didn't get a full pass when he made 531whp due to the car breaking after one pass.

And Kevin who is crying or putting Chris down? I went over and over this thread and I don't see one bad thing said, Brian said that it was lacking power somewhere, which is true. But then Chris responded saying that it has the stock intake manifold which makes sense. And Shane could be right by saying that it could be just breaking in, the more and more its driven the better it gets. Point out where someone was ripping on the car in question or the people who put it together? But if you or Chris are getting hurt feelings over this I can lock it for you.:rolleyes:

Oh yeah btw nice job Chris, that thing will be in the tens the next time out if you can get a decent 60' for sure.
