To get to the final for 4clyder class i had to beat a 12.22, with less than 2 minutes left in qualifying i went [email protected] to bump the pinto out of the final. So now its me vs my buddies DSM which ran a 12.14 that night.
So We line up, almost the same R/T but i kill him out of the hole, 1.687 to his 2.283. He wasnt having great luck launching the car that night, it would either Go great or bog and luck have it, the car bogged and almost stalled on him. But he came back on the big end with almost a 118mph trap. So he wanted a rematch, i accept of course. All in fun anyway.
2nd race we switch lanes and go again. This time R/T's were not even close, i had the best light ever for me a .066 to his .539. And i had my best 60ft of 1.65, went down the track to beat my previous best set that night at 12.17 with a [email protected]! With my freind was close behind me but with the R/T difference i won again. His car is tons faster than mine, i just got lucky thats all.
So it went down like this for the timeslips.
R/T---1.030
60ft-- 1.711
330---5.014

R/T---.066
60ft-- 1.659
330---5.014
1/[email protected] (no clue why i lost 2mph here)
1000--10.115

All this on the small 16g, getting colser to my goal of 11's with the car still full weight. But i dont know if i can get there. I might try a few more PSi (only at 24psi tonight) but who knows by the next time i go, i might have a new turbo

I would like to try and go faster on this turbo, but i dont think its worth the time. I can slap somthing bigger on (even a evo 16g) and bust into the 11's no question (sorry for the bench racing here but i think thats what would happen)
