Default Took my 3dr to the drag strip.

Not a bad trip for my first time with this car. Best time was 13.211 @ 108.66 mph with a 2.224 60 ft on Toyo T1R street tires. It should be noted that it was VERY humid out that night.

Feedback appreciated.

Tommy

I'm running an MSD Stage 3 chip with 803's, Radtach RS500 Intercooler, 3 bar map, Mongoose exhaust and 20psi of boost. The car made 268 rwhp before the Mongoose was installed.

Is that the held boost pressure or peak figure ?

Mine was just over 300 rwhp for my time

It's actually both. I'm running a Greddy Profec B electronic boost controller in place of the factory unit and there really isn't much of a spike with it. Maybe ~1psi that I can tell. I know the chip is written for about 24 psi so I should be able to turn the boost up a little more.

Make sure the fuelling is ok if you turn the boost up

pretty impresive figures, shows how much 4x4 slows you down once rolling, i do 1.7 60 fts, but cross the line at 108ish and run 12.7-8's.
