I'll be working on my 12sec run after Nopi. I will have visual entertainment as usual.

 

Sweet. Good luck.

 

I wasnt talking about your car, just meant tC's in general. I know you are a exceptionally well driver also. But im just saying from my experience going from I/H/E to Super/Header/Exhaust/Pulley...was one hell of a difference. I think another part of the problem for s/c guys is getting the power to the ground.

 

You talk about the car all the time on here, what do you expect? I may not like you but I still read what you type.

A LS2 GTO would beat you, if you don't believe me then go find one to race. Your trap speed would be much lower. You would definately have to up the boost to be able to take one.. What did you say you were at? 8-9 PSI on completely stock internals?

 

lol.. out of the box plus a new head and higher boost.

What is that 6-7k worth of mods? ZPI stage 1 turbo kit, stage 1 head, new clutch, and then installation of the clutch, head, and the turbo kit.. Even if he did the install himself it would still be over 5k.

Alot of money to have a best run of 12.7.

 

And the way that it builds power.

 

Instant power sounds nice until you start to spin the tires and then that instant power is instantly annoying.

 

gonna cost him a hell of a lot more money now that he is stuck doing a rebuild due to compression loss from running 11psi...he says hes getting blow by...hmm I wonder why?? Chalk up another zpi tune ftw

 

LOL...I don't tell SL everything about our car.



Where the heck did you get the information of "A new Head" from? No one said anything about a new head. I just said 11 PSI of boost, so what was your point in iterrating "higher boost". FYI....Higher boost does not change the fact that it's off the shelf. Off the Shelf means, he did not make any mechanical upgrades to the kit besides what comes in the kit. I don't know what you have been reading, but you are going to have to find a quote of him saying he had a Stage 1 head on it bud...I don't think your going to, because I think you are mistaken.


PS...Compare that 12.7 to the other competitors turbo kits...Need I say more

 

But intimidation factor goes up.... When you can mash the gas and spin tires from a roll right next to the other guy, he is going to go

 

I usually keep quite on all the BS threads that anyone with a brain can read through. Don't start kicking dirt now Vito, especially when the 2 Dezod powered people that were very voiceful in the F/I section, were only boosted for no more than 2 weeks before having to build their engines. You forget I have one of the longest running ZPI F/I setups. Tuned by Dr. Strickler himself.


FYI...MikeScion was boosted no more than 5 days after us. He probably beats on the car as much as we beat on ours. And he is just NOW getting to building the motor from cranking the boost up every time at the track. So, your right....ZPI TUNE FTW!

 

I just wanna see a slip of a fully n/a tc running below a 15... I have not seen one and none are recorded on dragtimes.com Anyone have a vid or a slip of a n/a tc running below a 15???

Here is a link to what most all n/a tc's run.... a few FI cars in there turning great times as well. I know the site is not everyone that drags, but it gives good reference to cars and what they can do.

Only tc not FI that is in the 14's has a large zex kit on it.

Ouch.

 

I posted them already in another thread. Killerxromances challeged me on the same subject, and I showed him PERSONALLY recorded vids of 14.8 (more than one time ran by the way) N/A tC's. My girl even had a fluke run of 14.8 that same day with a Full exhaust and lighten parts.


Let me go find the links...

 

I don't have one but I can see it being very possible. My 1/8th trap speed is right where it should be for a high 14 in the quarter.

Bone stock the car is running 15.5's.. add intake, header, full exhaust, crank pulley and I could see 14.9's on a best run. I think there are 2 people on this board that hit 15.0 with bolt-on's, one of them was with a 2.3 60' time (which can even be better with stock tires).

If anyone would put the high compression pistons and the stage 2 head it would be hitting mid 14s all day long, but no one wants to spend all that money for mild performance.

 

Ok, found them:

Also here is a guy with less mods on the verge of breaking into a 14.9 by only a small 10th of a sec.

isn't that car on the right that first runs a 14.7 the supercharged tc you showed in the xb video..? Looks identicle from the rear...

Also I only saw one car that looked to be n.a. hit a 14.9 somthing..? Looked like a hell of a good run for a n/a, good driver.

 

I can't see the vid right now, I'm on the IMAC here at work, however the 14.7 run is that of a Turbonetics powered car. By the way, that's only snips of a full ScionShootOut video. I just pulled out the high 14 runs. That car was the fastest N/A car that day, with us in a very close 2nd fastest. However, during eliminations, it was my girl that took home the trophey and the free turbo because she beat him and won the N/A Scion battle.

 

Good stuff man. Yeah that car looked great n/a... almost makes me wonder were the 35 shot sneaky pete system was haha j/k

 

The xA that was there that day had a 25/30 shot + a Blitz S/C and running flat 14's consistently...that's a site to see when you line up next to an xA in your N/A tC, and get smoked. I could do nothing but just look at it as I went down the track. Not even paying attention to my own shift points.
