Question

...with 400-odd horsies ATW?
I know of an Evo with those numbers doing 11 flat...

It's still fast though - congratulations.

Not bad al, how much did you manage to strip the car in the end?

I was following on i-club.

I am figuring, rear and front passanger seats, spare wheel, maybe some carpets, jack, drain washer fluid etc.

Any idea of the weight?

Nice numbers.

30psi + N02, custom Garrett, etc'........11.88. Claimed 400bhp ATW's.

Andy F. Stock circa 6 year old engine, TD05, claimed 305bhp ATW's 11.87..........

Both are very quick, but I know which one I find more impressive !

Mark.

yeeeees, I noticed the NOS, 50hp shot.

almost cheating

Al's is a lardy bug eyed beast though, complete with the extra weight of the 6sp tranny.

Anyway, what are you doing on here Mark? Where's your banner add??!?!?

tut tut

The ET was a bit low for the HP due to the poor track conditions - high heat and back to back runs - - - BUT the speed in the 1/4 was very good for a stock block I believe

I should be in the low 11's - - but the 6 spd tranny very low gears seems to be a bit of a handicap - and I must shift into 5th - and extra shift - - yes the 6spd is strong and does shift well but its no drag box - - (and it does weight a lot more - and I have the big diff and rear shafts also)

I did take out the passenger seats and bumper beams - - but left the a/c and the radio

Plus I weigh 300 lbs

Anyway - does anyone know of any new age sti's comming close to this mark???

Good trap speed Al You need to sharpen up those gear shifts though I also have the 5th shift to do It's a PITA !
Any idea of your times/speed before the NOS ? May consider NOS just to whip that one pesky JUN skylines ***

Anyway - does anyone know of any new age sti's comming close to this mark???
Not in this country mate, don't think they are into the 12's/110 yet !

No non NOS times yet on the current set up but in the past I made 12.5 at 110 mph with the PE 1820 turbo set up

I will be hitting the track at the Import Nationals in Englishtown NJ to try and set a non NOS 2.0 litre drag record

5 shifts is a pain in the _ _ _ - - but a busted tranny is even more of a pain - I broke 2 five speeds in the past

Tssk tsssk....I got a trap speed of 110 mph out of a puny VF23.
In a lighter and prettier car of course.

Too bad I'm a crap driver as I only got a 12,726 ET.
