11 second bolt on FWD

[danl]

This is the last place I'm going to put this. The car is a 1990 FWD GST 5 speed with 160,000 miles. The motor is origional w/balance shafts removed, ARP's, MMHG, and new OEM valves and reground seats. The tranny is the origional w/open diff. Stock intake manifold, head, and throttle body w/no porting on anything.

Nice job man, just gave me some motivation to get my car sorted out and get my 11sec timeslip. Keep up the good work.

 

[GSntncT]

Very nice. I can't even consistently run 12s. It does put a bright spot on us traction-retarded folk.

 

[redfury]

Very impressive

Yes I know. I have made adjustments and then doing some high boost tuning and lost the new clutch. So I'm ordering a new pressure plate and going to try it again when I get home.

 

[diambo4life]

What clutch were you running?

 

[BreathinHeavy]

hey ive been in altoona... a couple of my friends come up that way from cumberland to go to hooters and talk with some of the guys up that way.... great time.... im glad to see a fwd with an 11 sec slip any day

 

[danl]

What clutch were you running?

ACT 2100. It held for two drag days then started slipping when I started raising the boost.

 

[ivanr4g63]

Well thats definetaly an impresive run!
Great job man...

just one question to you if you don't mind answering it...

Did you had to strip the living hell outta the car or just spare and such were off?

Its not "gutted" if thats what you mean, but it is tastefully lighter. Its my daily driver. I don't run rear seats because I don't feel they are safe for friends. So I carpeted the rear end. The plastics are in place. I put in racing seats with 5 point harnesses for A: going faster drag racing and B: I flew out of my seat last fall in a 360 spin at an autocross on the stock seats and belts. I removed the AC because the belt tore and tried taking out my timing belt. I fabricated my own front and rear chrome moly bumpers for more room for plumbing and to lighten it up while still being safe.

Nice...!
