Its my turn to write a novel damnit! It all started on my day off(Wed) when I decided to go and buy some xylene to try the stuff out. Filled the tank and the truck ran soooo good! Boost was rock solid! So my friend with a turbo mr2 suggests we should both go down to the track for the wed night drags. I was down since the truck was running so good. It was a nice clear night, temp around 45 degrees. While I sat there with two bags of ice on my motor, I was contemplating how much boost to run...I decided on 18 psi.
My first run: Me versus a modded turbo mr2
I ask him to let me stage first and he agrees. I build 10 psi of boost and the light goes green. The next thing I know, the truck is in an AWD burnout and is starting to drift toward the wall!(spectators said it looked wicked!)I let off and straiten it outand by this time the mr2 is like 5 car lengths ahead. When I get back on it I catch him instantly around half track, then my truck does this wierd bogging thing like its running out of gas. After it decides to pick back up and go i pass the mr2 again right before the 1/4 mile mark. Me: 14.4 Him 14.8
After we both got our slips he was like WTF, you won!!???
Second run I decided to turn the boost down due to that wierd bogging senerio. Now at 16 psi. I am racing a 94-98ish GT mustang. I go up so stage and he comes right up and stages before me. So I scamble to start the proper launch tecnique. I ended up acidentally putting it into second insted of D!(center counsel is out for remodeling)But I didnt realize this of course until I hit the rev limiter around half track!!!(go ahead and flame!) But shifting into third right before the 1/4 mile mark, I still managed to beat the GT mustang with a 15.0@77mph!!!!To his 15.5 or something like that.
Last race: me v.s. my friends mr2(I was goin for time only)Still running 16 psi.
I decided to launch around 2psi due to shitty track conditions, and ran smoothly to a 13.6 @96mph with a 1.84 60'foot and an 8.5 1/8!!
This is my best time so far, but I know that if I had hooked up on the first run and had no problems, the time would have been even lower!
peace,
