With more boost? Seems like you'd hafta do something to it. That seems like a big jump to make with just better launches.

Maybe ..... This Sunday is "Funday Sunday" @ OSW. Rumor has it that sunday is a great day to run because of a couple reasons....been warned of breakage ;(


1. Lot's of rubber left on the track from the saturday night NHRA events= Traction

2. Better prep than regular test and tune. = traction

3.Lot's of cars so more cool down time 8) = cool motor/happy motor

4. I got a few "lightweight" parts. I was thinking about taking my hitch off (-20 lbs.)and putting manual belts in it (-18ish lbs.). Maybe even put some stock wheels on the back? Stock are 20 lbs. each and mine are 38 lbs. each

5. I have a friend coming so I don't have to carry tools down the track (-25 lbs.)

I've really been paying attention to what mph cars are doing, and I've seen quite a few cars go into the high 12's with about the same mph. If I can get a better 60' I think it's possible to get CLOSER to the 12's.

Tom I'm by no means suggesting that you do this but I'm getting away with 8 degrees BTDC on 93 octane with no ping. If I remember correct yours is 3 or so degrees. Mine gets warm too because I run the a/c everyday. Still no ping.

I think I'm gonna get 12's before MS.

These radials are 205/55/14. My street tires are 195/50/15. It was about 20 degrees warmer and no cool down time. Also I was 25 psi on street tires and 15 psi on dr's. I think that was why the mph was off. Best 60' was a 2.09. Last week on street tires I did a 2.18.



Thanks I'll have more vids soon.



Dang...oh well it's a street car with a/c so roadtrip=no problem 8) .....What night is test & tune?

Wednesday night......you should get here early for Ohiostiva and we can go....hint hint!

Holy Cow! That Wagon is awesome, BB Chevy, Twin Turbo, talk about a grocery getter.

x2. He only comes out once in a while. It's so cool. Still has factory seat front and back. factory am radio. But it's fuel injected 2 injectors per cylinder. Aluminum heads. 2 garrett 90 or 96 mm turbos. He says it's 4200 lbs. and made 1080 something to the wheels. I'll get more pics of it soon.

8.59 in a wagon OMG!!!!! i want it!

and they're STILL calling it a Fiesta.

That wagon is so sick. It weighs 4200 lbs. Full interior even an era correct coleman cooler that he uses as a cool box.

I know. I think next week I'm going to the tower to "correct" them. They know me well enough.
