1/4 mile time!!

So i took my baby to the track last night to see what it could do.. kept a constant 14.5 the whole time we did manage to pull out a 14.44 at the end of the night... i attached the time slip... also i meet some canadian guy last night... it was nice talking to you if you are on these forums...


i thought it was pretty good time considering my mods

intake, hardpipes on stock intercooler, exhaust elbow, boost to around 8 psi, and that is it... crazy huh i was thinking high 14's not a low to mid 14... when i put exhaust on it will be low 14's high 13's


Oh yea i had a quesiton as well... why am i hitting fuel cut if i raise the boost any higher than 8?? if i get a full exhaust think i would be able to raise it at all?

hmmm i would say that 3" elbow has somethin to do with it
how is your boost holding... droppin off like you got a leak or is she holding fine?

and as i said on the other board FANTASTIC time

Not unusual to be hitting cut with those mods. nice time for SFA mods. Not even a full exhuast

YEA ur elbow seems to make a difference... it does have a little leak coming off the elbow though... when you make them do u bolt down the flange that connects to the turbo??? seems to have a slight warp to it...

but nope boost holds strong... and im curious on my fuel cut problem.. i see lots of people running 10psi or more without alot of upgrades why am i hitting it so quick?

i hit fc at 9psi... it won't let off lol... fcd and a dyno fixed me made sure i had the fuel and stuck to 9psi, seemed happy there

hmm interesting on the elbow... i guess you could whip it to an engineer and just get it shaved a little to straighten it... i think a engineer or machine shop will do that

yea that is what i was going to do.... still loving it though... going to do that when i do the exhaust while i have stuff off...

what is this i hear about taking a screw out of the afm???? does this really work?? how safe is it?

yea i dont want to detonate... that would be bad.. i think ill just wait for my other mods before i start messing with it... i only hit 7.8 psi or so on the track last night wish my boost controller was easier to adjust
