What a difference the BFG's make!
Previous 1/8 mile best time...9.1@86mph
This was on my 18's wrapped in 235/35/18 Potenza S0-3's
New Best 1/8 mile best time...8.5@87mph
This was on the 225/50/16 BFG's
Both times ran on basically pump gas w/ boost at about 23psi. I cut a 1.975 60'once on the BFG's but averaged 2.0. On my S0-3's best 60' was 2.173 but averaged 2.2-2.3. I still need to work out my spool and random misfire issues. In between every shift the car would bog for a split second until it made boost and then it would charge towards the finish line. Also, if I ran it to redline it would misfire when I shifted into the next gear for a second or two and then clean itself up an run. I hope to go back and run low 8's w/ the bugs worked out, that should put me in the low 12 second category if the BFG's can handle it when I finally make it to a 1/4mi.
