Champion Modded 991 Turbo S at Dragstrip
#31
What did your 991 trap in the 1/2 mile?
Yes I run a mix of E on pump 91 gas on my 991. It has a GIAC tune only.
I took it to Shift Sector (1/2 mile dig race) on the same E mix and ran my buddy Nick's McLaren 650. I didn't think it was going to be close at all but Nick was calling me out (in a friendly way) before the event and even went so far as to call my 991 a "primaddonna" lol.
Unfortunately, and this is a big unfortunately...my GoPro battery had died and I couldn't get the carnage on video. Clean start and I left the Mac like it was standing still. Could barely see the Mac when I turned to look to see how far back it was at the finish line. The driver gave it it's all, but the Mac is just no competition in the real world - on the street or runway with a less than optimal surface.
Now on a prepped drag strip surface maybe the Mac will hook up but that's all it's got on us.

Thanks for the kind words and compliments guys. That video is from one of our test sessions which was in January. Conditions were sort of terrible that night, with temperatures in the mid 40's, so we didn't quite get the results we were looking for. I think I posted about it somewhere at the time.
The car (at that time) was equipped with exhaust, intercoolers, upgraded VTG's in the factory housings, and of course the GIAC software. The car has a 9 second pass in it...it's just a matter of getting to the track on a night with just the right conditions, and it seems we have bad luck with the weather every time we try lol.
As soon as our final VTG's arrive here from Tial (which is long overdue!!), we'll release our turbo upgrade package.
