Took the Dsm on hot rod magazine's 1000+ mile torture test. Car drive flawlessly and averaged a 12.9 et between the 4 tracks. It was detuned to 93 and running 17psi. The fact it made it through is enough for me!! Pics to come!
 
Great job MB! Way to prove if they are built correctly and maintained the dsms can not only be reliable they can even be beat on a little! Get a new clutch in there, put the fuel and boost back in, and go claim an 11!
 
Thanks! Just pumped out the 93. Headed to us41 today. 6 days in a row sounds good right ! Lol.
 
Thanks! :)

Well on the 6th day at the track, we started to push the boost back up. Made it to 24psi before the track closed and it ran an 11.7@116mph! :D Finally got to see the 11-sec timeslip out of the 16g! Still need to get it back up to teh 28psi it was before detuning it for this week-long event.

Here's some pics I found online of the car at the various tracks:

I'll be working on the rest of them today
 
16g/nitrous setup? Am I not seeing a front mount? (Why I'm asking if the car uses spray.)

Sounds like a really fun event, I'm jealous, glad you had a good time!
 
It does have a FMIC on there, but it's anodized black. ;) ETS "street" kit. It was run on 110 for the 11-sec run; all the other times were on 93. No meth or anything.

Thanks! It was a blast.... despite the crazy heat wave.
 
Right on. That 'splains why I couldn't see it in the pics.
 
that doesn't look like you driving,LOL. glad the dsm held together, it should have for all the work you've put into it. and congrats on the 11:hellyeah:
 
Thank you! :)

and your right, it's not me, LOL!! I loaned the car out. :)

The original plan was to take his Dodge Daytona; but it ran into last minute, pretty serious, transmission problems. (500+ HP FWD car) So I offered up the dsm so he wouldn't have to drop out of the event. He kinda laughed at first because, well... the dsm reputation is not that great; but then figured it was the best choice since I've been driving it all over this summer without an issue.

I don't really mind either way, other than it was strange to see someone else drive the car. He felt spoiled, as I drove it the 300+ miles between each track. So I'd joke with him... "well now that your 12 seconds of work is done, you can take a nap." ha!
 
LOL, yeah....

He's gone though quite a few A568's recently. The new plan is some sort of built T850 or dogbox. (He is running a 2.4L in it... so it;s no longer an 8-valve engine.)
 
Pretty insane week for all the cars. I watched the "1320videos" daily recaps from the event. Lots went on. I did see you car in line MB on one of the videos.
 
Jeepers! I had a thought that if I come up with the time and money, I might do a 4g or 6g swap into the old girl. Theyre already pretty light, and handle great. Just needs a lil update here and there ;)
 
Congratulations!!! I saw the car in line at St Louis and was wondering who it belonged to. :hellyeah:
 
:)

Here's a little compilation video I just put together:
