Took it to the track tonight

Ok, I have a pretty much stock 86 t-type. I have an eastern performance front mount ic, 83lb injectors, tt chip, running 100% e85, walbro 340 hot wired, stock turbo at 20lbs boost. Stock trans and converter and stock down pipe with hi flow cat. I have vacuum brakes and couldn't hold more than 2 or 3 lbs of boost at the line with street tires. I ran 3 times. 13.65, 13.54, and 13.40 ets. All at 99 mph.

Is that pretty much in line for my mods? I know I still need a powerlogger to see what is going on, but it was a free spectactor drag at Byron and I was itching to see how it would run. My best 60 ft was 2.28, so slicks and finding a way to hold more boost at the line will be one of my next priorities(after a powerlogger).

All of the passes were back to back also.

Get rid of the CAT. and turn the boost up

x2 you should be low 12's. Get slicks u could probablly get to 12.6 or so by knocking 60' down and some more boost or better tune even lower.

Thats not bad for a stock turbo.

That is what I thought. I just couldn't hold any boost at the line. It was really more like 1 or 2 pounds before the car started inching forward. Damn vacuum brakes.

Get a hydroboost and hold the baby on the line! Slicks and a healthy posi will do wonders for e.t.

Not bad, you have some left on the table so that's good right?

I'd start with a Transbrake, a set of MT 275/60's with a Test Pipe and you're in business. From here you'll have to decide if you want to go lower than low 12's.

Tried the hydroboost and the damn power steering pump whined like a police siren when turning. I tried 2 different pumps and one was a reman. I just might try it again though. I was able to hold like 9lbs and it stopped like now, when you just touched the pedal!:biggrin:
