Last minute family issues kept me from making the trip. Hope it was fun.

Good time as usual! Got about 10 runs in with the best being a 12.58. The heat was killing my mph. Did a lot of different launch techniques and alot of red lighting. Wife and kids came and got to see daddy "race"
Marcus, thanks for setting the wife up at the gate Broke my neighbors drag racing cherry...he's addicted and was asking the girlfriend for a turbo kit for his Focus after his third run! She asked where her engagement ring was first!  Ran into to Asiankid and Spy...I'll let them explain their trip down... JMoushon, I looked for you to line up a race but I guess it wasn't to be. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

The DD was out, but only took 4 passes. Stock boost, 3" exhaust, and free mods ended up at a 14.3 @96mph. I'm happy with it, knowing I'm a fuel pump and three hours away from some solid 13's.
I'm considering installing all the parts that came with the car as well  I'd like to toss a decent clutch and 2 stage boost controller and try to give you a run FYI: 1.) I will cheat, likely with an E3 16g, and 2.) the 2 stage b/c is my poor-mans way of saving the three-bolt rear

This year's Slo Pny Drag Day was THE best. We had a great turn out and great weather.
I watched Black92_tsi_awd take out more than one V8 in his sleeper (what just happened) kind of style!  Looked like Darryl is getting things worked out and knocking out some 10's all the while. James very stock DSM knocked out some great numbers. I got to run the Sportster a few times. Yeah a best of 14.33 is VERY slow for a bike, but I knew it would be slow...It's a Harley.  It was interesting riding the bike all the way to Cordova and back... about 50mpg is not bad!Josh's turbo Stang ran a best of 11.4 this time around. He's working through the details. He will have it in the 10's before the end of the year. We gave out $200 in prize money to the fastest street and fastest race cars that participated in the shoot-outs. It always surprises me how few people people take advantage of these free cash offers.  TONS of fast cars and TONS of great people! Thanks to everyone for showing up and sharing a great day at the track! -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

What is your average short time? The few runs I got to see looked like the car bogged out of the hole pretty bad. I would think a 5500 stutter would kill the launch, unless it had a good amount of time to build... On the other hand, the car runs great, it seems to put down the power in a big way for a 14b car. -------------------- 2009 Scion Tc

Yeah I've had MAJOR problems launching this year. It either pull a 1.7x to 1.8x 60 or bog and runs a 2.x. Kind of makes it hard to bracket race the car.
 The stutter is actually set for 5000....but I've been thinking of getting another chip set at 5500 to help the issue. It basically comes down to the driver, if I slip the clutch correctly it goes. My mph was 107-108 all day, yet my times went from 12.58-13.2 the 60's decided the time. I'm going on Aug 8, hopefully with some new chips to get some more timing at WOT. But I'm coming to the conclusion that the turbos at it limit. I turned the boost up Sunday but it it won't hold more than 19psi for very long. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

How ported are the housings? The 14b isn't a monster, but it sould handle 20psi with ease (and heat). Just my opinion, but I'd give 6k a shot. You're not risking anything but drivetrain parts
I was launching at 6200 with very little slip, and running 1.9x shorts. My worst was 2.01, and that was about 5500. Every AWD I've had launched best at 6k+, but I was concerned about the stock clutch. Turns out the clutch held it just fine. If I have my way in the next week or 2, I'll be coming to Vicary day in something newer and cleaner, and we may be able to do some serious runs at that point. -------------------- 2009 Scion Tc

I ported the hell out of it. Last year I ran 22 psi falling to 20 and ran a best of 12.47. This year is 18 psi getting me a 12.43 so obviously the tune(NCgalant) is a hell of a lot better. Thinking about it, maybe the hot thin air was just causing the 14b to poop out.

The eprom in the AEM is now tight and the car does not shut off going down the track! Looking back the I think the car ran pretty well. The last pass where the time was not displayed was like a 10.3x @146 or 147. This was done with 1.70 60' which is a full 3 tenths off the normal 60' time. Oh I also had 8 degrees on timing pulled for the nitrous that DID NOT SPRAY, thus the slower 60'. I think will be in business next time out!

I couldn't pass-up taking it down the track a few times just to put some real numbers on it. Don't worry, it's a cool cruising bike. I chose this over a fast sport bike in an attempt for better odds at staying alive. And I got a great deal on it.

Hahaha
 Probably the ability to do light speed at the crack of the throttle on a crotch rocket vs. the roar of a Harley as it slowly attains highway speed. Plus you don't get the itch to make hard turns on a Harley like some might on a crotch rocket.

I saw a group of bikes on the side of an off ramp on my way to Cordova. The same guys who blew by me on 74W.
One of them had gone into the ditch and they were pullin the bike out. Saw them at Cordova as I was leaving.
