    unless you can leave at full boost the turbo will be slower. everytime you shift a turbo car it looses boost too.

    that vid was slowed down I think. the other one of the same run isn't like that. I think the clutch is toast cause something was spinning and it doesn't look like the tires. It did spin the tires in the wheels at stanton

      Sweet runs!!8-O Especially for street tires! Was that with pump gas?

      I had similar e/t's and 60ft's, but nowhere near the MPH!!!

      I knew I saw your car on the vid on motown muscle...

      And FWIW...There is a guy on thirdgen.org that runs a single turbo TPI with a stock rear axle and runs 1.5 60ft's and a best of 10.78 @ 127mph...

        That's what I thought(BOOST) and I also think the vid was slowed down..

          N20 and NA cars need to get all they can out of the 1/8th mile because after that the turbo cars are coming harddd.

            Yeah 93 octane. I had it tuned for premium so that is what she runs. I have a set of DR's available if I want to try them. Just don't want to grenade the rear as I have too much fun driving it.

            Yeah they do! I was running people down in the big end. Didn't always catch them but definitely closed the gap.
