T-66 Budget Kit hits da track
Hey guys,
Despite my recent compression test showing 6.5fr/6.0rear, the car still feels good so I took it to the dragstrip to see if my ***-o-meter was in need of a recalibration. 1st pass was at 14psi 93 octane and the density altitude was 1500 ft. Mods are here: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=196951 I was running 225/50-16 Nitto drag radials. I did a quick clean up on the tires and left at 3800 rpm with a nice bog (doh!). This is considered an "average" track.
For the 2cnd pass, I had the water injection armed and the boost set at 17 psi. I was number 1 in line and the skies opened up. Packed it up and went home.

Thanks guys, this was my "shakedown" pass right off of the highway and I'm a wuss at the dragstrip. This car never ceases to amaze me and the people in the stands who have no clue what it is 
Edit: My car weighed 2690 with 1/2 tank. Spare removed but no other weight reduction mods besides the ones you get with full exhaust/single.

That was at SDR. I can't get into Commerce because my battery is in the bin and doesn't have an external cutoff switch.

Get you some ET streets, launch at 5500 rpms, and then say hello to 11's
Anyway like Vosko said great time for the first pass....
