By the way...I will let you hold on to those numbers for a bit, before I get into the fours ....Great Run!!!!

PS..get some weight off the car and it should be a four second car...

 

I must "spread some reputation around" before giving more to KPG.

 

Congrats Kevin, that is one serious time!

 

Kev,

Send it down here to me and I'll exercise her through the winter for you. It was 81 degrees here yesterday, not a cloud in the sky.

All jokes aside that is one hell of a time. I hope to be joining you soon. New boost solenoid on the way from Greddy and i'll be running at the 60-130 next weekend. Congrats buddy. That is MOVIN!!

 

I'd be very curious how much your car weighs Kevin. I think my car runs what it runs because of my "Jenny Craig" options.

 

Dennis, I have brakeboosting but I get better times just starting real slow. It was very early in the AM and I could get down to 40 or so with no problems on the interstate. I did not notice where it full boost but I can look on the dyno video of 4th gear at EVOMS that had a picture of the dash during a run. It only shows the dash boost gauge but it would be good for a guess. Here is the no shift run, it was actually 5.9 when it was graphed out and I began around 47 Mph. Hope this helps

 

I have the McDonalds Supersized #3 options...I am going to put it on a truck scale in a few hours. I will scan the ticket when I get back...

 

Are you still here? Run along little boy, the Mile was SOOOOO last week.....

 

I know your car is a tank. Mine really got lighter with the inadvertant RWD option. I just took it from there. I hope to put my dif back in soon, if it's still good. Right now my car is around 3150. I scaled mine at the drag strip, so probably not terribly accurate, but I don't think it's off by 100lbs.

 

Paulie, DocJ, Doc Rob,Marty, Both Mikes,Ben, Todd,Corey, Xlr82xs.... Thanks guys

 

Hey Doc, anytime you want to do some "Big Game Hunting in MI " let me know, just bring the R compund snow tires! Good luck next week at your 60-130 event

 

Great run Kevin! Your car is the perfect balance.

 

Yeah well try one less cheeseburger at the next truck stop:-) Congrats brutha!

 

I think that is an incredible time to roll in one gear from so low an rpm. Very impressed with that single gear run, almost more so than with the one shift run as it shows how well, your setup is pulling.

 

Ben , I cant speak to your setup and the best way to produce times but I will say I was very surprised how mine made the 5.2 I did ten runs, 8 1 shifts and a single no shift and a single 2 shift. All the 1 shift runs were all within 5.2 -5.5. I had thought that running up to redline would be the best time but it was shortshifting that brought the best time. I shifted well under 7K and it brought me in the meat of the tq band in 4th. I think that helped for a few .10ths..... Also, my Topgun bobblehead on the dash was mocking me, that helped for a few 10ths as well. You know, I have never seen a Bobblehead with ..well, such a big head...
