I just got back from the drags. My best time was a 14.8 at 94mph. Not too bad. It was about 85 deg out, so I only could push about 8psi. I had an empty tank, but didn't take anything out of the rear end. Plus, I had my bowling ball which I forgot to take out before I left. I didn't feel like taking out the spare and the trim, being lazy. Now, its time to go party.

Not bad at all. Good show!

thanks. I got 4 runs in, but only the last one was at 10psi. With the hot temps, I just couldn't get higher than 8, so I didnt have many chances to run at top boost.

wow....I wonder what you would have been clocked at when you were running at 20 like at the meet. That's ridiculous.

i believe you... but slips man, slips!

Here ya go, I'm on the right:

I believe you man.....after those runs in it, I believe it. A moron could pull those times if you're pushing 20...

Hey Devlop! nice runs! I am gunna try to go to the track on wednesday for my 1st runs since the new clutch.! How did you like your new clutch at the track? ...What kind of tires do you have...I usally get a mere crappy 2.5 60 ft times , and I need some ideas, I just cant afford DR's or slicks right now.....2.3 are are decent enough for me though....What car were you racing? I could not help but notice that they got a 2.0 on the 60ft and ended with over a second faster , but still only went 94mph like you.....which proves to me how important th 60ft's are!!!...You ought to send your times to MWR..They post all the times for all the 1zz cars...congratualions...you are the 1st VIBE I know of to break into the 14's!!!...I hope to match it on wednesday!...go turbo!!!!!!

I'm lovin my new clutch. I was just getting the hang of launching on sat. I ran on Nitto 555s dropped to about 30 psi. I've been told since then I should have dropped them down to about 15-20psi. I'm thinkin this will definitely help with launching. After I get my new tires, I'll prolly head back up there again. I wanna see how it will run with those and at 10psi.

what is the highest psi you've run? how high can you go before you go boom?

I know Jeff was running 20 the day of the meet...I'd be freaked if he ran any higher!!!!but I'll let him give the blow by blow....btw: That's the awesomest sound, when the turbo goes psss......(sniff)....makes me so HAPPY!!!

jeff said earlier that he was only running 10 the day of the meet... anything above 12-15 is extremely dangerous without a highly modified engine... I was just curious as to how high he's gone.

Were you there at the meet? I don't remember seeing you there and I'm sure Jeff told us (Vibechick, TRDVibe and I) that he was running 20 that day but he normally runs 12 daily....DEVLOP!!! Where are you man?

Dsegundo,If you look above, he replied directly to you saying it was only 10.

Where are you man?Sorry dude, you remembered wrong. I said I normally run 7, but that day I was running 10. WIth that boost controller, I can change from those two pressures. If I had that injection system like Faultline has, I would be running higher like 12 or so.

Jeff you know the car goes even faster if you had Carrie watch instead of ride along...Impressive times man, smoking every GT out there hah with a BASE.

after riding in devlops car at the michigan mega meet or whatever id be willing to say 14.8 is good but i could beleive faster, 1 thing though about that car thats not particularly good, the whole 1st gear thing really really high ratio on 1st hehe

The car is very fast, should have been there to see the shock on a mustang owner's face as he was blown away hah.

damnit....I'm an idiot...plus I have a hearing problem in case you haven't noticed....

HAHAHA, damn the bowling ball!!

How heavy was the bowling ball? We could approximate the lack of drive....ah hell.....damnit!!!
