Will post the slip tommorow and will try to get the vid up as well. As the topic says, turned a 14.336 tonight and I am happy! I was hopeing to turn a 14.49X with the current mods. I was very suprised to turn this time! This time was on 18" wheels with not so great Falken 512 all season performance tires, 1/2 tank of gas, full interior, drink in the cup holder and my fat **** I am very happy with the car right now. With some good meats for tires, mabey an intake and cat back I hope to be at a 14 even, mabey get lucky and run a high 13 knowing how bad the stock airbox is and stock muffler.... Was a good night. Made 5 runs, won all 5. Exact times for the good run below. "yeah I know my r/t sucked on this run haha"

r/t = 0448
60' = 2.166
330 = 6.022
1/8th = 9.222
MPH = 79.45
1000' = 11.980
1/4 = 14.336
MPH = 96.20

Anyone that says the TRD sc is not worth it / is slow / feels like stock is full of crap and is politically motivated to say so or simply does not know what they are talking about. The trd vortech combo rocks! While my time is not super fast or awsome by any means, for the $2950 I paid for it, it is worth it's weight in gold! My time beat 4-5 of the srt-4's times at the track, stomped on the saturn redlines and chevy cobalts and beat allot of stuff it should not have. I had allot of people around the car asking what the heck I had in it, especially when I beat a brand new mustang gt's best time of 14.44X! which means they could have been bad drivers but who cares. A win is a win.

 

nice to hear..

 

nice solid runs. I too would think that the sc with some tweaks & the right mod combinations should propel these cars quite easily into the 13 range ( given good traction, etc )...
thx for posting the numbers.

 

Thanks for posting up. I have been curiouse of what I SHOULD be running. Nice times.

(what supporting mods for the SC do you have)

 

forgot to ask earlier: what did you launch at? It looks like you got a decent start considering the m+s rubber. Doesn't look like much time spent standing still with wheelspin. thx

 

Yeah the launch is a good question. I have tried in an old parking lot, and they love to spin.

 

I hold at 3K rpm with the clutch almost slipping "just bairly off the clutch so it does not move the car", light hits green and I jump to 3/4 throttle feathering it through first and nail it in second. Hard to describe but took 2 drag race days to get the launch down. Stupid servo throttle is annoying.

 

Running an NST pulley / megan header and s-pipe. That's it!

 

NST SC Pulley, or crank? Good times non the less

 

Sc pulley. Crank would net less boost for it is underdrive.

 

at first i thought you meant you were a stock sc, those numbers were freakin great. they still are, just now im flacid again.

 

No, best stock with no header, no pulley and just a sport 110 bypass valve was a 14.7 on yet again my 18's and I think I had 3/4 of a tank of gas that time!

 

I NEED TO GET TO THE TRACK!!

Keep us updated on progress with it.

 

Will do. She is definitly not a drag car and I do not intend it to be. She will be 100% retired from track duty in the next few months as I will be competing in iasca sq comp with the car. She will be a heavy turd then, even moreso than now but still quick for a tc!

 

desertheat you are really putting down some great numbers, and you're 0-60 times with crappy rubber is also very impressive.

Keep up the good numbers, and keep representing the TRD SC!

 

Thanks man. The car is running great "knock on wood". Tc is a very hard car to launch and great times are all about how you run through 1st gear and second in it. Takes allot of practice. I am no expert or pro but learning how to drive this stupid drive by wire crap is hard. I like good old cable clutches, and cable tb. Fancy new stuff haha

 

good to hear man, congrats!

 

Great numbers dude! Way to rep the supercharger. I can't wait to get to drag strip.

 

 

come on scion-ce, your turn now I wanna see one of us hit a high 13 at least.
