Nice run. You guys must have pretty good air up there at night to be running like that. I'm not even going to bother running my car again until late this year when it cools down some. Right now, it would be like running at 3,000ft+ elevation here w/ our weather. I would love to run at your track, I think mine is slightly uphill or something(my 1/8th mile traps are very similar to yours, but my 1/4 mile traps are 2-3mph lower...running full weight might have a little to do with it also). :laugh:

Are you letting the car shift on it's own or are you playing with the throttle to lower shift points? Also, does your car have a sunroof?

According to his sig, the '89 he's running doesn't have a sunroof.

I didn't even pay any attention to the sig. I was thinking he had more '89's than that(maybe that's "shifter" :laugh:). Jeff's old website(turbograndprix.com has expired recently) claimed the sunroof weighed 84lbs and the ac was 36lbs. If you go by the usually "100lbs = 1 tenth" logic, that would be a tenth alone...not to mention the seats, etc. he said he removed.

Early in the night I was playing with the throttle on take off because I couldn't  get traction. but when I pulled that hose I just dropped the hammer and let the car do what it wanted to do. I was afraid of what could of happened but there is only one way to find things out....Do it. lol. after the 14.1 my times started to drop off because I didn't drop the pressure from the best run which was down to 23.5psi so I'm assuming that they kept heating up and increasing during each run. I might hit up Byron's drag strip in a few weeks or as soon as I get the mikey thomsons on some honey comb rims.

I was all pumped up to go to Byron dragway today and when I got there it was rained out I really wanted to try out the Mickey Thomsons ET streets guess I'll have to wait for the next test n tune or Midinight Mayhem on Sept 4 at Cordova again.

dang dude you should have a 13 second car right there. good luck! Must be that valence i sent ya  :laugh:

September 4th is coming quick but not quick enough not only are the Mickeys ready I just realized over the weekend that my black 90 had an adjustable wastegate.... well key word had. Sunday it went on the 89, so I am really going nuts to be back out on the track. Plus just so everyone knows I added more vids to youtube you can check out the link on the earlier post.

So what are your mods?

Nothing to excithing to report for 09-04-09 Midnight Mayhem I hit 14.1 and 14.2 for quarter mile times. I played with the adjustable wastegate some and turned too far and overboosted on two races but I did beat everyone I went against which includes: '09 V-6 Mustang, stock ecotec caviler, some pick up, a colbolt ss, 4th gen trans am, and a eagal talon. I did after getting the wastegate to a sweet spot I ended up blowing off the vacuum distribution block on the throttlebody. A little bit of string fixed that for the night. et streets did help reduce tire spin. I don't know something about last night just felt off, as far as I was expecting more. I guess I'll need to get the yellow top injectors before I get into the thirteens Ohwell.

Last Midnight Mayhem for the year 09-25-09
Not bad, at least it didn't rain. I got four runs in before the fog got too thick to safely race and they shut it down bout 1AM. I won every race. Opponents being colbolt, jetta, and a 5.0 fox body mustang. The Mustang is the only one that put up an awesome fight. last three car lengths he caught up to the back of my door so pretty close racing.

Quick question guys my Mods consist of mostly weight reduction, Topgun160 chip, and a K&N air filter and A/C delete. It hasn't been too hot out when I have raced nor humid a very mild summer, why when I was playing with the adjustable waste gate did it over boost? I did just get a boost gauge so now I can find out what I am really running for boost. Only racing I have left is the B.O.P. show at Cordova and test n tune at Byron til they shut down.

Alright Guys all of my videos are up from the Midnight Mayhems and The Byron BOP show. Still have Cordova's BOP show and I think I might Call it a season. Let me Know what You guys think. Just to fore warn you some of them are low quality night vids so remember I'm The red blob on the track.

Awesome Awesome races!  What was your best time?

14.1 at 96mph

Nice run!!


So what is your setup consist of now?

sweet takin down the trans am and cobalt ss.
