well i don't want to ruin Dave's suprise to everyone:p , but i suck.

best time of 15.5 at 86mph. i was running 20psi on 93 octane. stock exhaust, turbo and i/c.

i just don't make enough power to get the wheels to spin. all my launches bogged.:(

well it was still fun

Hehe nothing like giving you a 2-3 second head start and still passing you up :cool: . All I have to say is 1g's rule :) hehe

only 85mph huh... i cross the line NT at 80... geese... well im thinking that steve w. (AKA DEVIL) ran a 13.11 on stock ic and turbo then i can sure as hell run a 12 built turbo motor... One thing that i did do was get everything that was made for turbos so that all i had to chage was exhaust. but this is just my logic.

Didn't you get some rather high compression pistons for your car? If so, you're gonna have some problems trying to run high boost through that engine, regardless of how built up it is.

it wasn't the 2 second head start that did it. it was the fact that you still caught and almost passed me by the 1/8 mark.:p

i logged the car this morning and it was happier at 20psi than at 16psi. i think i'll leave it and just play with the tire pressure next time.

where's the video?:D

20psi on a T-25? Damn Art...I would bet if you turned it down you would go faster. That's way beyond the efficency range for the T-2small.

Dave and I lined up at Bandi. after a full 2 second headstart. He drops it and crushed me. i knew it would happen anyway. him being 3 seconds faster than me.

but he got it on video. so it will be laughed at many a times by the member of the board and where ever else it manges to show up on the net. i still laugh about it, but it was all in good fun.
