Went to the local street legal event at the California speedway this past weekend. Damn it is nice having a 1/4 mile track again, the CA speedway's dragstrip has been closed for about 2 years.
Anyhow, I was able to run a new personal best on Saturday! Car is on a stock restalled converter (that slips way too much at high rpm), stock 6 bolt bottom end with unknown mileage, T4 S366, boost about 29-30psi, tuned by yours truly with Werewolf ('da woof) speed density system. Nitrous was used to stall the converter and sprayed untill the 60' mark. I was happy with the results! There is way more left in this turbo, I just don't want to push it much further on the stock bottom end. This pass was also made with a pretty significant boost leak due to my nitrous nozzle stripping out of the throttle body elbow on a previous pass.
The previous pass I was planning to spray it the whole way, but the threads I made in my throttle body elbow stripped (didn't use a bung) and the nozzle popped out
. Thank God it didnt' cause a fire! The nozzle popped out just before the 1/8th, that pass was 6.65@106mph and 11.0@94 because I got freaked out and let off the gas. I figure that would have been on the low side of a 10 second pass had I stayed in it with the nitrous. Maybe it was the DSM Gods way of saving my 6 bolt's life? After that, in true DSMer fashion, I shoved the nozzle back in it's hole and secured it with a couple zip ties in order to finish off the day 
I think my girlfriend got a video, if so, I'll post it up later.
