It could depend a lot on the altitude of his local drag strip.

I like sleepers.... These cars are so easy to get in the 12's it should be illegal!

I think he has a boost gauge and an AF gauge. . .not sure.

He uses DRs at the track.

But driving around town you would never know his car is blown and what not.

When are you going to the track again?

No indication that mine is blown. No gauges, completely quiet stock exhaust. Going through the traps at 120+ and running low 11s usually gets some reaction. Watch my Youtube video in my sig of my 11.32 run and listen to the guys in the backround, its pretty funny.

When did stripes become the sleeper look? LOL. Keep up the good work.

no offense, but If you ran a 12.79 with a stage 2 saleen, you are doing something terribly wrong, regardless if you have street tires. That thing must be pushing like 440-450rwhp, so with street tires it would be more like a 12.4-12.3. What was your 60' times? Do you know how to powershift/shift properly?

yeah.. it seems pretty bad to me too.. I want to know what track and which day he went on.. see how bad the DA is there.. he is running 6.5psi of boost i'm guessing he is around 400rwhp on an otherwise stock car..

Depends what the Brenspeed stage 2 equals... my JDM stage 2 is a 3.4 pulley with 440rwhp through my auto. He could have a 3.6 and a lower output.

On my 3.4 pulley and GT500 OEM tires I pulled a 12.07 at Fun Ford Weekend (good prep!). Normally I ran 12.25 pretty consistently on the regular street nights. Now with drag radials, I'm running 11.90s on street night.

I bet the OP has another .25 sec in just seat time waiting to be unleashed!!
