Set my new personal best tonight with the stock motor, turbo, and intercooler. Last Oct it ran 12.47 @ 105.6 with no converter lock, thats why there's pretty low mph. I now have it back together with a new converter that locks and have been struggling to get it back down to that time. I raced last Wed night here and ran two 12.52's and a 12.53, at around 106.6. Well this past weekend, I went to Iowa to a track that is supposed to hook awesome, well it didn't. Best pass there was a 12.58 @ 105.9. So tonight I figured I'd go back to the street car Wed night races at my local track, 10 min from my house. This track does no track prep for the Wed night races, no vht, so it's usually pretty slick. First pass was a 12.81 @ 106.3 w/ a 1.821 60'. Second pass I figured I'd leave with about 1psi to see if it'll hook better, but it just came out really slow with a 1.87 60' which lead to an embarrassing 13.01 @ 103.8. Last pass of the day, figured I'd crank on it and if it hooks great, but I'm sure it'll just spin like always. Left with 17psi @ 3200rpm and went 1.78 60' and got through the lights at a 12.46 @ 107.7! I'm still confused as to how it hooked. However, I'm definitely making more power than I was last year, as my last years 12.47 pass was on a 1.69 60'. It's only .01 faster, but I'm going back this weekend, they have a bracket weekend so the track is preped very well.
17psi ! Damn man....I've never tried that before... dont think i will until i get my ticking fix. Congrads on the time. Keep going. STOCK.
