I've VERY temporarily brought my boost up to 20psi, and this thing feels incredible. It spikes to 22 for a moment. I only stay in it from 1st through half of second, but just that ride alone is enough to put me in a siezure. I'm taking it easy cause I dont know what fuel pump I have in it. Its probably stock, but I watch my o2's closely, and I havent seen them dip yet. What amazes me is how well the car hooks. Sure it spins the tires, but just enough to keep the bog away.
This car feels faster than my 500rwhp blown cobra did. Most cobras at that level were capable of 11.20's with all the best conditions. Its just that the torque this car makes is so decieving. Judging by my combo, what would be a guess, of its capability with all the right conditions/tires.
I'm running 27/25 timing with alky...about 1 degree KR.
I'll be turning my boost back down right now until I get my fuel pump in. I just had to risk it and see what it felt like. And what I felt was so goooooooood!:cool:
 
CONGRATS

Isnt that feeling just awesome:D
 
We have pretty similar combos and at 21 psi 11.50s are pretty regular for my car, and i am pretty sure I can get the car down in the 11.teens with more boost and a 1.5? 60 ft.
 
A bunch of us TR locals are participating in the CA Dragway rental in Fontana on May 13th; check out the topic in the South West Forum. A perfect opportunity to really find out....

Yeah it would be nice to take it to the track and do a full pass. I'm just worried that the car wouldnt make it to the other end of the track at WOT. I need that pump in there, and need to fix some other problems. Given my schedule, it may be awhile before I can get it to the track. Given its my daily driver and only car, I have to make sure everything is up to snuff before I do anything that risky.
