My Quest to Prove Ray Pampena a mortal man.

you are planning on running 10s with 13Ts and 17 lbs of boost?

Have you even watched videos of cars down down the track in less than 11 seconds?

[KeithMac]

when the car was bone stock, less an FIPK and catback, I trapped 1.7sec 60' times, and ran 13.3 on stock boost, and I don't launch hard "around 3k rpm's" so 17 lbs with 13T's and all the things I have listed below will let me dial the tune in, so I just feel like 10's are very do able.

From my own experience I would say 1.7 60 foots on a 3000 rpm launch were impossible but fair play if you`ve managed it!.

Best bet is to bag the 10 second run and THEN post, rather than this thead just dissapearing..

I'm going to run as much boost as I can, but 17 seems to be the consensus for "maxxing" the 13t's, but if they'll push more, i'll run the race gas and make it work.

9bs can do 21psi...

it's more in how you stage that lets you get the quicker time, basically you just stop as soon as the second stage lights are on, and it lets you get a good run before you even cross the line. and my RT/s are consistently .6 which doesn't help with the 60 foot times, but I'm proud of them being 1/10th off of perfect.

I think the big question here is... what past experience do you have in tuning or drag racing cars?

[dpartinvr4]

"ESPN...the coverage is amazing"....lol but I've been racing for a couple years, and tuning i'm newer too,but i understand the concept and what goes into it, i.e. 80% IDC's 11.0-11.5 AFR, i know what things need to be, and how to get them there i.e. adjust fuel pressure, and safc to get what i'm looking for. theres more to it than that obviously, but you get the idea.

[Hym3n]

Ok. With that said then, your modifications list is concise... but what about OTHER supporting modifications, i.e. non power adders? What transmission/clutch/driveshaft? What suspension? Making a 10-second pass often requires much more than standard injectors, pump, turbos.

uh you realize the timing of the run doesn't begin until you break the starting beam. I.e. your r/t time has NOTHING to do with your e.t.

[dpartinvr4]

stock suspension for now, I'm looking at drop coils, I'm going to make a T-case brace, and it's got a stage two clutch.
