Talking Hmmm

Well I haven't done much to my car, and as you know...stock these cars pull 15.1 (My 1989 Turbo II is rated at 15.1 on the 1/4 mile.)

Now I have some port widening done similar to a street port, APEXi DUal chamber BOV (no gain there really)...

Now on my last run I was running 92 octane fuel without octane booster, w/ 18.2 gallons of fuel (thats right a full tank) as well as I still left in my spare tire and all of my work stuff and caar tools in the back of my car...you can imagine that that adds a lot of weight...

Anywho my run was 15.337 @ 90.04 MPH ish @4-6psi of boost 0-60 is unknown (haven't tested yet) and hp/torque is roughly (not dyno'd yet) 240HP/220 ft*lbs ish...nothing to brag about really...but without the extra weight I should easily be doing mid-high 14's (not to mention that NOS octane booster and spraying NOS on the intercooler before a run (probably not safe...but I have heard it is interesting) alternative is to run with ICE on the intercooler...but that could be restrictive to air flow. Anywho...I should get decent times when I go out and run again next year on my new clutch (and possibly I will do a run BEFORE I make my next few mods. Also now I am running 7-8 PSI since I fixed the stupid boost leak I had =/

I raced an automatic Probe GT from a stop light and stopped when I was roughly 2 and 1/2 car lengths ahead of it. This was about 50-60mph.

That's the only thing I have to go by. The automatics are rated at 8.2sec to 60 and 16.3 in the 1/4. So at least I'm a good bit faster than that.

I would estimate high 6s for 0-60 and mid 15s for the 1/4. I hope go to the track one day.

I got a question Praxrx7...if your car is rated at 15.1 stock, why are you getting 15.4 with mods? i have actually heard of N/As getting in the mid 15s with out major mods.

one of 3 reasons...or both(err...)

One reason...I had only been driving a stick shift for about 3 weeks, another reason is because my car was full of ****, the compartments were full, the hatch was full, and my gas tank was full (as I used gas my times got significantly better lol), my spare tire was in, washer fluid had just been re-filled, etc. etc. Wasn't very good at launching, bad wheel hop on Touring Tires....lotsa factors...my car should be a hell of a lot faster if I actually dragged it seriously (which I will do in spring next year or in the middle of October providing the weather permits!)

And if I can afford some new rims and Drag Radials...then BANGO you will have more 1/4 mile times to play with as of October ish.

Back then I didn't know that weight, tires, tire pressure, etc could be factors in the 1/4 mile times (Next time I am thinking of running 33 ish PSI rather than the 40psi recommend max on the rear tires..... BAH inexperience sux If only I was smarter 3 months ago (not to mention I had a boost leak and my stock Bypass valve was screwing up)

kabooski is that a Gtech time. If not then you must be one hell of a driver. I am hoping to pull that as a best time, and I have three times the mods. I will let you know my time from sat.
I nominate you for most power from least mods award. lol

first time out last week

16.0 was the best I could do, but like you said, I had a car full of stuff and no experience at real drag racing. This week, hopefully in the mid 14, got a 13 sec guy coming out to give me some pointers

Tell me about that HKS DOGMISSION. How much did it set you back? How much of a part does it play in your insane 1/4 times?
