Pinks style drag racing

[v8s_are_slow]

So 2 weeks ago I tried to get some times on my new setup but the tree was down. We waited for like 3 hours to race. Instead of calling it off they asked if we wanted to do it "Pinks" style and have them flag us off. We were all like hell yeah....after 3 hours. Sheesh!!!

Anyway, just posting a couple of vids. Didn't get any times of course but I'm sure I was doing better. Got the stutterbox going and launching at 5k rpm on my slicks....fwd. Killed everyone outta the hole. Even the awd cars. 1st was a Camaro that runs 7.7's in the 1/8th like me (last time we ran). He was on a 75 shot when we both ran 7.7's. This time he had a 150 shot. He barely got the win on me.

2nd car was a Mustang. While we were sitting in the staging lanes the owner looks over and says, "Don't beat me too bad", with the smart cocky attitude. I laughed and said, "Uh, okay." He said he runs mid 6's but I almost handed him his ass. Dunno if he's really running 6's in the 1/8th cause I know he had to run me down. Of course I'm sure he didn't think I was very fast either though. Never saw him after the race so dunno what his reactions were.

Racing again tomorrow night, after installing some FP2 cams and tuned at 25psi on 93 octane. Hoping for some good et's. It's pulling strong. But here's the 2 vids I have from 2 weeks ago. Enjoy. Hope you can hear my turbo. Lol. My exhaust is like maybe less than 2 feet long.

Def some good launches

are those runs on the big 16g or the 50 trim? also what boost, fuel, and weight with driver? (if you care to share)...

Sounds like you had a good time. Not being able to record the times kinda sucks. The launches look good from what I can tell. Post up your 60 foots after your next track day.

Maybe have the cameraman stand a little closer so we can really watch this thing take off next time. Gotta love the open exhaust.

This was on the 50 trim, but before throwing in the FP2's...which I did a couple of weeks after these vids. I sat up there for 3 hours before being able to race and try to get a new time but tree was down and I went again 2 weeks later to try again but it started raining so once again I didn't get a time.

Boost was at 20 psi this night (next time will be at 25 psi which feels WAY stronger). Fuel as in what? I have 1000cc injectors, Walbro 255, stock fpr, stock fuel lines, dsmchip, and Autometer electric fuel pressure gauge inside the car. A/F was at 11.0:1 that night.

Dunno the weight yet. I'm trying to get it weighed. I'll try and remember to post an update when I have one if I don't get an awd chassis instead. Only interior is dash, console, door panels, and stock seats. Everything else has been stripped. No a/c, and a few minor things. I weigh 205 lbs, just need the weight of the car. Oh, and here's my turbo with full exhaust incase ya'll haven't seen it yet That's some weight savings there as well and no back pressure. No stock O2 sensor, just use the wideband.
