I think all your trap speeds are records. To my knowledge only one other guy has ran a 10.9 on stock turbos and I don't think he even broke 120mph when he did it.

No problem dude, yea helps if you go to a track rental so you get more back to back runs so you can figure things out. Yea i tried slipping the clutch on launch just never worked for me kinda wish i had a two step. But still that is awesome on stock twins, i only had 320rwhp on mine never made a pass on slicks think my best was like a low 12sec pass with street tires. Good luck man and might see you at some events next year was suppose to be at imports vs domestics but my manifold was cracked really bad and broke the v band on the down pipe and didnt get it finished in time.

ya i would also like to get some kind of launch control. i was trying and wish i could have made it to imports vs domestics. i couldnt get a truck and trailer. i ended up putting a hitch on my s10 zr2 and rented a uhaul dolly just to go to MIR on sunday to try and hit tens lol. 7 hour trip. very disappointed I didnt bring home a ten second slip. I will try to go to that imports vs domestics next year.

Turbo10th, I just got a chance to watch your video on my computer, nice run! I figured I could hit a low 10.9 or high 10.8 too with a perfect run. I'll have to try that reving like you did, might work out better than just holding the revs and then flooring it and letting out the clutch at the same time

I would really consider adding some type of 2-step launch control. MSD makes a really good one that I have installed on a few customer cars with MSD ignition. I would also recommend running a taller tire, a 28" will really make things interesting! I have had a couple of the local guys run the Hoosier 28x10-16 with great results.

The Benefits:

1. The car will be consistent. Free reving doesnt exactly yield solid times (Consistency is KEY)

2. The 2 step will have you leaving with power, once you flinch, the clock starts. Its better to leave with power (boost) than building it once your 15-20' out.

3. The taller tire will also help your car out drastically. I prefer running the true slick and not the street tire. With a taller tire, you'll have 1) more contact patch, more hooking, less spinning! and 2) It will work great with your gearing.

Hope this helps! I really think your car is a perfect example of how a well built car should run! Especially on stock twins nonetheless!

thanks for the advice and info. i definately want to get a 2 step launch control, will it work with my jacobs ignition or do I have to get all the msd stuff? it would be nice to get more consistent starts. i use to be more consistent when I went alot but still a 2 step would be nice. i have the stock 4.10 gears now, are you sure a 28 inch tire would be better? I also dont have any traction issues now. my first drag tires were a hoosier 225 50 16 24.9 inch not very wide drag radial and had pretty good results on those, they were little and light and i spun a little but that was also before i learned how to do good burnouts. did 11.19 at 123.8 with sequential turbos with those.

Ohh I thought you had the 4.77 rear gear!

That answers that! haha

ya I had those 4.77s, they made my times and trap speeds slower. i should have tried 4.30s

Impressive runs Tom. I was especially suprised to see that Dodge Magnum wagon run a 10.20 something. That heavy boat must be running a ton of HP to move it down the track that fast. I thought you'd kill him, but boy was I suprised!!
