Decided to hit the local 1/8 mile track here in the miami/broward County line. Im pretty happy for such low boost since im on a single walbro for about another week or so i only got 3 runs before i got yelled at for no cage.

Unfortunately i did not get any video taken this time didn't care to strip it much this time since its only low boost testing im guessing race weight is around 3100.

First pass i spun my ass off so im not gonna list it LOL.

60ft - 1.71 - 2step to low
7.21@102 on 24psi

60ft 1.61
6.94@103 on 25psi


Id like to thank Shane@ASAP for coming along with me and logging helping out with the car.

35+ lbs coming soon:thumb::D
 
Congrats man great times. The 2nd pass looks to be a easy 10 sec 1/4 mile pass
 
Ya should be a 10.7 give or take car feels like it has a ton of mph up top on also so its definitely not slowing down on the back 1/2 when i hit the 1/4.
 
Congrats! Definetly a mid to high 10 at around 130ish as it sits!!
 
Oh yeah, this thing is moving pretty good I must admit.

6.9 @ 103 will easily put you into the 10's.

I went 7.2 @ 110 on a slipping clutch and I still got a 10.9 out of it. My clutch slipped bad in 4th gear which is why I didnt gain much on the top end. I was well on my way to a 10.50 or better with that 1/8th mile trap speed, but my clutch didn't hold up.
 
Thanks, i want to see some more good stuff out of your cars KP/Broken
 
Awesome! Neither me or Kenny(kp116) have even hit a 6.xx 1/8th so I can definitely see it netting a 10; that mph says a lot too. Great power per psi!
 
Congrats bro!
Was good to see your car finally do what it should after all the issues a 20+ year old car can throw at you.

Keep it up.
Can't wait for the new fuel setup, hx40 record here we come!
 
Do it, i love the HX40 great all around turbo.
 
I would just like to congratulate you on the good times. I like to see the proven numbers over and over from numerous members.
 
Thank you, i just got some stuff in to upgrade the fuel system so it will be turned up soon.
 
*, , ,* . . . 16g guys belly ache about manifold temps and back pressure when they try to take "records" just to be happy. While they miss the boat. . . up the boost. . . It's all there.

Nice times. The best I've pulled in the 1/8th was a 7.21@100 with my hx35 at around 32psi in.

What HX40 are you running? 6, 7, 8 blade? Bolt on, T3 or Stock Holset turbine? That thing is going to be bad ass once you crank up the boost. :thumb:
 
Thank you Red, its 7blade in BEP T3
 
Good job man. I'm glad to see someone with nearly the same set up as me with some good times. Hope I see some numbers like that.
