sounds like we both had some fun this weekend! Congrats to you! I know I was smiling so big coming back to the pits. Did you have any wheel spin? Looks like you you the mph to go quicker but I guess it depends on how laggy the turbo is.. Going back to watch the video now!

approx 6.5K rpm I launch at, any less the grippy track and clutch the car just bogs lol
I got a bit of wheelspin when I changed to second for that run.
Yep Im still smiling
My next target is to crack 130mph, it should be easy as my tuner says the engine just loves boost and seems to get more efficiant as the boost is turned up.
Going for 1.3 BAR next month

Your car is making some good power at 16 psi. How much does the car weigh?

I stripped the backseats out and have got rid of the aircon (this being Britain its never that hot lol) and Abs, it weighs in at 2540 pounds plus me a 200 pound driver lol

Busted7 the reason for the smooth shifts is since I have fitted the stillway 0-400 shifter I can shift more precisly now, plus I never miss 3rd gear with it

10's....

im lookin to make my FC run in the 10's... it has about 400hp right now. hasnt been on the dyno yet. so i cant be sure. but im installing a larger turbo and upping the boost slightly. plus adding water injection and dropping the intercooler. im wanting 450-475 at the wheels when i get it retuned. is this enough to get a 10.9 atleast?

stock body, full interior. probley weighs around 2800 with me in it.

also, this is on stock TII drivetrain.

any tips? suspension, tires, more power, different gears or rear?

thanks...

dont know too much about the FC. 470 at the wheels is enough power to get tens, if you are using drag tires and a nice soft rear suspension, my main tip is plenty of of seat time!!! lol

thanks. by soft rear suspension, could stock be the best option?

and i beleive seat time is most important also. i dropped a full second in 6 passes before by just learning the car. it had 400 HP at the time, and wasnt sure of the shift points or how hard to leave the line at the time...
