Default Track times

Hit up the 1/4 with a couple of guys on here today. Tried out the slicks. Turbo was only tuned on 21psi as my fpr was bad when I got it tuned so I just turned up the boost and logged it. I ran 14/22/27/27 IIRC. I know there is A LOT left on the table not being fully tuned for it/running lower boost.

My best 60' was just a 1.9 but I think it was because I was only running gate pressure in 1st to get used to the slicks. Anyways it was fun.

Congrats man!!! It was awesome getting to see your car hook up and haul down the track along with running you too!

But one question.... Hows it feel knowing a V6 mustang popped a wheelie on you?? Lol

Please tell me that wasn't 97 leaving like that next to PD....


Jeff, awesome run man. Your car looks and sounds like a beast, runs like one too. The top end that car has is impressive. Once you get it completely sorted out, you should see a significant gain all around. Sorry I couldn't make it out there today to witness it in person.

Need to roll that burnout a little further until you're out of the water. Dry off the tires and pick up some track rubber/VHT.

Cool video. He really got a jump on you, I was surprised to see you reel him in and get the win light.

Nice to finally see a 1/4 mile pass. She's got an easy 3/10s left in her. That 1-2 shift comes up real fast don't it. LOL Very nice!!!

I'll give that a try next time. Haha, I've also been informed that my wot box is set too high. "granny shifting". We will make a few trips this year.

Yeah, My 2 step was wanting to pull me past the light so I was just focused on the launch.

Yeah, I feel like it has mid 11's as is. Bottom 11's after it's retuned, maybe a high 10 glory pass. who knows. I was tuned for 21psi and ran 14/22/27/27, can't wait till it's ~20/25/29/29 and actually tuned for it. I bet 1st will be insane then.
