It was great to finally get a TC to the dragstrip! I can't believe its taken 10 years and 2 TC's to do this. I have some goodies on (sig.) but settings are still stock, 15 psi boost and 39 psi FP. The exhaust only reaches to the front of the back seat and that's all that's left of the stock system. I don't know how much of a baseline the runs were because of the tremendous amount of wheelspin. Track was cold and I was an idiot who never lowered the tire pressure in the back tires. I keep them inflated to almost the max psi for mileage. I did get 3 runs in before the rain came - was the 4th pair for the next run.
run 1 - 16.12 @ 88.5 mph - sit n spin
run 2 - 16.26 @ 88.7 mph - almost stalled then spun
run 3 - 15.91 @ 89.2 mph - much better launch but still spun and chirped on each shift except into 4th. Yeah I shifted into 4th because I still have the IHI and could feel it drop off before 1,000 ft.
Wishing I got more runs in - but hey - under 16 at 15psi with the IHI and 35 psi in the tires! OH yeah I also did this with about 15 gals. in the tank if not more... I still have over 3/4 tank ...
I also got to meet Travis and Steve and see their cars.. After seeing their cars makes me almost embarrassed of how mine looks... I need to work on that next!
