i was thoroughly impressed!

16.67@80.5mph, with a 2.36 60ft

i did have a better 60ft of a 2.35 on another run

car suffered from bad wheel-hop off the line...so i just ordered an Ingalls stiffy & i'm going to try for 16.4s in a couple weeks, along with a high-flow air filter & the JDM header thats coming in this week

 

Hooking up can be a scary or humbling experience. At least you didn't stall

Never tried the B but I have a few friends who have. Any video action?

 

no i went last minute, so i couldn't get any friends to tag along to vid me, my only other friend there was racing

 

This was a few years ago in Kansas city

Lets see if the owners or other friends notice who they are.

 

lol it is like drag racing a Vespa

 

i haven't done the quarter mile yet but i ran in the eighth back when i had my 19's and pulled a low 11

now that i have the 15's and headers i would like to try the 1/4 mile, i think if conditions are right i can get a 15.9 or a low 16

 

have you guys seen the xb with the 350 in it?

 

I'd love to see an Xb with a 350 in it

got links?

Lol at being impressed with a mid 16 1/4 mile run. The xB is for riding low and slow

 

A lot of cars with a lot more power run 16s. The xB looks better rolling slow with style haha.

 

That's the neat thing about out xBs - you can race in public and nobody even knows you're doing it.

Actually, low 16's isn't bad at all for a box with a tiny motor.

 

well, when i was expecting bottom 17s, & started doing 16s, i was impressed, its a full second quicker then my tercel, yet my tercel "feels" faster

long gone are my days of having a fast car, like my old Malibu...but i'm building my van & won't stop 'till it runs at least 13s

 

so you have one of these?

 

His sig says 3.3, so I doubt he has the caraturbo

Very nice though, Id love to see your slips if you have em

 

yeah, this is my toy



my old one, that started the obsession...




i'll try to type up the timeslip tonight if i remember

 

I see an El Camino (which, I learned is spanish for 'The Mullet') in the back ground of pic #2!

Very nice van

 

the el-camino is my dads, he almost always has one...this one has like 230K on the stock 305...he puts oil in it when it knocks, lol, i got junk headers on it, crush bent duals with flowmasters, & bypassed the feedback carb, computer thing, with a normal quadrapuke for him, it runs good for what it is...16.0-16.1s pinging its ___ off on 87 octane

 

nice action. thanks for the post.
