sure thing man. As long as I can get decent traction I think I can pull it off. If not, ill hit it hard again with slicks and zero camber.

tonight is the night. good luck. to be perfectly honest, 230whp from a load bearing dyno, on a gutted xa, with some decent tires, and a good driver, should yield some very low 12 sec passes. im very interested in what this thing can do. make sure and take lots of vids, in car and out.

Well looks like there is a bike event going on Sunday. I was going to go tonight but didnt leave the shop on time. Looks like this has to wait another week, but my friend will most likely be going with his awesome xB1 also hopefully he squeezes into the 13's.
To be perfectly honest, I would be happy just getting into the 12's. My car has te power but with this large turbo on a 1.5l motor it doesnt spool until 4500rpm. In the time attack it was fine because it helped me not light up the tires exiting a turn. When I shift the transitional spoolup takes a bit also. This is a completely different powerband than from the tiny turbo I used to have.
Once I am able to raise the rev limiter I think it will transform my car. Im also out of fuel with stock fuel system and 625cc injectors, once I upgrade more power will be had.
