The car runs that power on 91 pump gas, thanks to water/meth injection.

So far, my best 1/4 is 12.8 with a 1.7 60', but the car easily has high 11's in it. I need to practice, obviously.

With a KAAZ LSD and a very stiff suspension (8k front, 10k rear) the car has almost no torque steer at all and the cornering is slightlly biased to the rear.

I drive the car daily on the street. It's a lot of fun. If you have any questions, ask away.

ST430, dyno charts to prove it - sorry pal.
what turbo are you running? a/r? at what boost and a/f? why aren't you tuning on e85 / pump 100 instead (sorry not a big fan of meth kits)? I see your dynapak results, and looks impressive but you have some serious driving issues. i would recommend you dial down the boost at the track until you can hook up most of the power.

I've had two passes only at the strip with the car. Your whole opinion is based on that? sheesh, LOL.

Thanks for the "advice", but I just need practice. Drag racing is not my favorite kind of racing; I'm pretty competitive on road course.

GT28 disco potato with the smaller a/r .64.

E85 is practically impossible to get around here, and I drive the car a lot, so it wasn't convenient to convert to it.

djyoshi, 25 mpg IF I don't put my foot in it much -- but it's pretty hard not to want to punch it all the time.

25 MPG is not bad at all for the amount of power you're pushing.

Umm, I'm an avid dragster (amongst other things) having owned evos, supras, etc. Your Trap speeds for a 2400 lbs car would show only around 220whp, hence its pretty crappy (especially with slicks). You should be running around 115+ trap speeds even with a crappy launch. No offense, you have a nice car and admire the work you've put into it....just don't want you to look like a dyno queen.

where are you at in cali? looks like you ran at Sacto? One of my fav tracks...

I don't care what I look like, and I disproved your claim of BS. Got nothing more to say about it.

I'll save the thread and post up again with further progress.
