My car is 1 second faster
 
Yes, you heard it first, like MTV news. All my time and effort dropped a second off my last best time of 15.2xx at 94.5 mph. My new best is 14.263 @ 99.99mph. And the rest of the runs were pretty much consistenly 14.5's in the mid 90's with one other 14.276 run @ 94.63mph.

I need more power up top to rev higher, and my launches all sucked ass except for that fastest run, but as I recall I was wheel hopping very badly anyway, so I don't know wth it is. I tried dropping tire pressure to about 23 psi and that reduced the hopping alot, but didn't improve 60 foots at all.

Fun, and now I need that bigger turbo.

there's a local guy here with a supra inside a 1st gen ford probe body. he's somewhere in the 9's but he should have done it with some class. what's the point of a ford probe that you can't drive on the street? Nothing, i tell you.

No wonder you think Aaron's 16g is so fast. But congrats on the numbers!

I ran a 15.3 consistently bone stock, a best of 15.1
I am hoping to go to the track next week and see whats up, if i judge by the people i have ran against, i would say high 13s is where i am at.
Congrats cromie. Now get that bigger turbo on there and put up some better times.

You are too late. He has a new one already. I won't spill the beans though.

Congrats on the times! Very fast traps, I'm inpressed!

Re: My car is 1 second faster
 
yeah, my next best speed was 99 flat on a 14.333 run. I was very happy with the high speeds. I think with a solid launch (like with slicks) I could get a 13.9 with perfect shifting etc.

and hksenilyks76, to answer your question - it's a big one.

that probe with the 2jz was built by DaveH wasn't it? of NA-T supra fame?

at least i think thats where his setup ended up.

Re: My car is 1 second faster
 
Matt Faul is the driver, but yes, DaveH was the builder.

I forgot to mention that there was a "bone stock" 1g there. It was an auto with a boost controller and 111 leaded. :) brake boosting and manually shifting, the guy managed a 14.7 at 94mph I think. Pretty good, and he's selling it for 1500. I want to buy it.

They are fine if you build them up correctly, stock autos can't take alot of power or abuse.

I'm almost stock and hoping to run to Rock Falls soon to run the car... but i'm worried what i'll run. 14b is very healthy, so i hope to see some good times.
