Yes, Congrats to our TopSpeed sponsored customer Mike (Gastroker). He ran a 9.58 at 156mph I believe he was fastest time of the day. And highest MPH. He also won 2nd place in his class. Leaked a little water and they kicked him off. Great job man!!!!!

Sweet ass times for everybody. :goodjob:

it was on medium boost around 550whp.

Dave cut a 1.9 60 ft, normally he is in the 1.5-1.6 range but the car was just brutal off the line an spun my ET streets.

He hung on in 1st an second good, but when he hit 3rd an boost hit, the car drifted hard left then swayed back right. I have NEVER seen FEAR in Turbo Daves eyes until he came back from the finish line LOL

The car was very unstable, and we will be working on tightening the chassis up. A roll cage is def in store for it along with some other suspension mods.

The car was on race gas because its a race car, i always run race gas in it.

Yes that was my first 9 sec pass.
It was quite a feeling. My shit always seems to have dumb problems, like, slave cylinders breaking, starters going bad, & IC pipes blowing off. Last year it was always the clutch or transmission. The bugs are slowly but surely going away. Now I just need to get consistant....and faster of course :)

CHADbee
05-21-2007, 07:24 PM
lol@getting faster

my goal for this season is 2 secs slower than what u did yesterday

thats crazy

Vteckidd
05-21-2007, 07:34 PM
your first 9 second pass, thats crazy! you didnt just BARELY run 9s, you were deep in the 9s LOL

thats about as fast as the NDRA/NHRA turbo 4 cylinder champs

What's all done to your Supra?? Did you buy it used from a slim white guy?? The reason I asked is b/c I'm always up at AAP and I know there was one that they did a TH400 a year or probably even longer than that. They actually did the whole progressive buildup of that supra but anyways-Congrats on your times and best of luck w/ the beast.

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late reply.
Here's the timeslip.
reaction: .902
60 foot: 1.560
330 foot: 4.210
1/8: 6.328
mph: 116.44
1/4 9.592
mph: 156.00
And, here's a video with a pic of the real timeslip at the end.
http://www.andrewwarren.com/vids/mike9.5.mpg

I run 255x50x16 BFG drags. I was spinning pretty good in first and got some bad tire hop. There's definitely more in the car without using the NX. I've only beenusing the NX for spool up so far this season. I will try and get to the dyno soon and do some full pulls with the gas. I short shifted into 3rd and 4th so I think I could have broken 120 in the 1/8 and shaved a 10th of the ET.

Like I said in the other thread-if you think Steele is good then you'll bust a nut at Bristol or Rockingham!! Steele has definitely stepped their game up but they still have way more to improve upon.

Nice man, Congrats!

I am glad I could help out and don't ever mind doing anything to help any fellow racer go faster. I know we will never be the fastest cars in the world so the only thing we can do is help each other go faster until one of us are. :D

We have ran about every track in the Southeast but until you have ran @ Carolina Dragway it isn't fair to judge. That track is called "The House of Hook" for a reason. ;)

It is just outside of Augusta so it isn't as far as it sounds and we rent it for a fun/private event every year the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Would love to have some imports to join us again this year.

just lmk!! i'd luv to come play and hang out. i've heard it's an awesome track and that they'll let dr guys in the 'groove' there. hook or break ftw!!! :eek:

ty again for the tire help! gonna get the new m/t 325's for the track now that they're out. oughtta be able to turn up the boost off the line with them. put on some more ponies too with new cams and an aem so it should be interesting to see how it will run now!! :goodjob: :camera:
