first time on the 1/4
well its 5:29 am and we just pulled in from up north with Dave and his wife Patty, Doug (bammachips) and Bill (kwik6er). yep it was pretty fun as bill may have mentioned he got some great times with the hypo kit 13.7. unfortunatly when we showed up to the track (1 1/2 hours late i might add) we found out it was bracket racing and not test and tune. oh well any way this was my first time on a 1/4 mile and the first time bracket racing so i kinda screwed up a bit. anyway running the stock cal version but with my new t-loc ( no gears yet ) and dougs mt drag radials i ran a 14.1 with a .044 reaction time and 2.022 60 ' ( oh yea first time in the water box and i screwed that up too) the prob was that at irwindale they have the finish clearly marked with a brake now sign for us dumb people, so i think i let off too soon. then the second run was against a honda and i got totaly twisted on the whole differant tree light thing and totaly blew the launch. so i was out after two runs. so i will settle for the 14.1 for now. the 1.8 mile time was 9.1 and knowing i have done 8.95 i know i should be in the 13's

RE: first time on the 1/4
Big Congrats afixer that is great!
We finally get 1/4 times out of the X Charger you will be in the high 13's no doubt even with out gears in yet.
The other guy hit 13.70’s with the Hi Pro kit and I think correct me if I am wrong that is with a open rear?
The only thing I can say is the X Charger has delivered and if you ask me matched and or IMO at 13.70 exceeded expectations of this type of roots S/C per specs.
Dave didn’t settle for the original numbers of 252 rwhp months ago which actually that in itself puts the car in high 13’s and were able to up it to 285 rwhp nice.
The other thing they were also able to pick up around 100 rwhp over a bone stock V6 this IMO is an excellent job using the MP-90. I also think its possible we could see 13.50’s or better (4.10’s
) in the future from the X Charger!
Congrats to Dave he did a fantastic job along with Doug’s great tune!
Who were those people who said the X Charger would only be good for the 1/8 ?
LOL
