Title: STE 1/4 mile times
Post by: GPChief on August 08, 2002, 12:58:55 PM
Took my STE to the Bandimere raceway in Denver Colorado last night, the car didnt do what I thought it would do.

Variables:
5300 Ft elevation (no air)
80 temp, 7% humidity
1/2 tank of fuel (91 octane)
* only mod on car K&N cone filter

Best time of the night was a 16.61 @ 82 mph, with a .504 reaction time.

Hey Twalt...

Was that with or without plugging the Waste Gate Loop?

Was doing 17's "stock"  took almost 1 sec off by plugging the waste gate.  Consistant 16.6's.

In a few months I'll get the exhaust work done & chip it (top gun 180)

Should do deep in the 15s then.

Twalt...

Did you see the thread that I got blasted about plugging the wastegate?  :lol:  :lol:  Glad to hear you got a second off your time with the minor "mod!" :wink:
