Sorry, I wish it was on 93 oct. On race day, 2 gallons of 110 mixed with 93 in tank (basically the fuel light was on)

Stock size lines running a 190 walbro and Lucas 550's

DUDE! I'm still STOKED about that run!

My three runs were on straight 112 octane through stock fuel injectors and lines, burning the 14b up at 24psi running about 4 counts of knock in 4th gear.

You had 4psi lower boost... which is actually near the max with a good fuel system
You had lower octane fuel with similar knock figures
You ran down the 1/4 mile seven one-hundredths quicker than me not counting the 60ft.
and you had 2MPH on my speed

That is definitely a faster car than my set-up and I know you have got a couple more tenths you can take out of that run!

I'm really itching to get my crank back in and lay down some runs before the year is over. Thanks for stoking the fire Chris.

Thanks. I've cleaned it up a bit.

Some of the cars I'm leaving bold even though I know there are changes in progress because the car is still owned by the same member. When that member gets a new personal best or sells the car then those lines will be updated as well.

Now I feel even better Marcus

I'm dying to see your beast make a good run! We seem to be stoking each other, because watching your dyno runs made me want to finish my car and get it back to the track!

Haha...Not to be confused with 'stroking' cause this stuff is really happening. No paper racing here.

I just updated the ET list. Not because there is a new local record or personal best, but because I had to change more cars to sold.

I know straight line drag racing isn't everybody's thing. Even so, I'm suprised that with over 850 members we have only 30 people that have ever posted a best quarter mile time. Now 16 of the 30 are either old or sold.

Durring this winter break I hope all those that have tried so hard with nothing more than broken parts to show for it, will be able to rekindle the need-for-speed and get the fire going under their DSM projects. So we can make a good solid list of running DSM's in the 12 to 14 second range next year!

I have been to ashamed to put my best of 14.76 in the GVR4 up. hope to have a better time next year.

New time

9.283@160.65

We finished 2nd at the Nopi Finals and 3rd in points for the class.

1/8 mile was 6.178@127.68

^^^ Congrats man! That's an awesome time!

YEAH! That's excellent news Darryl. I'm glad you were able to finally break out of the 9.4's. GREAT JOB!

8's are just around the corner I bet....

15.46 in a 1999 grand am

We only record DSMs on that list. The decision was made awhile back to only include Mitsubishis to keep it topically related to the site.

mmm... 14's. Lets hope I can make that, despite the FWD.

There finaly added my car to the garage.

Mitsu77 Added

is there any way you guys can post an updated list?

thanks
travis

Both lists are up to date as far as I'm aware Trey. The one at the beginning of this thread and the page linked from the side bar.

Let me know if you see changes that need to be made.

Huh, I never noticed the seperate page off the side bar!!

I plan to make it into the 11's with my Daily-Driver Talon this spring. Who's gonna beat me to it from DSMC?

I'll give it a go! We have to line up (at the track) this year at least.

Ah hell, I'll probably be .01 second slower than you again.

Cool. I'm game. If you can get into the 11's on your 14b I'll bow down as unworthy regardless of the outcome.

Yeah I'm don't think the 11's are possible without a serious weight reduction. But you got to have a goal. Of course there's always the possiblilty of a bigger turbo...

Ahh come-on fellas. What about Natedogg, Spy and Kazz? All of you have been in the 12's for a while. The 11's may be too slow for your target this year, but you have to be shooting for something.

Plus there are over 800 other members that may be shooting for a new personal best. Speeak-up people. What are your expectations this coming year?

Sub 15's

My goal is to get the beast running consistently for the warm months for some top down cruising. Paying insurance on a vehicle for two years to only drive it 1200 miles doesn't seem quite worth it... I guess I still have that no reverse problem to fix too

If it doesn't sell, I'm shooting for 10's. I've got a guy coming to look at it this weekend though...

We're a bunch of sell outs, what can we say....

Hey, round is a shape....at least that's what I tell the wife when she complains about my 216!

I don't know if I'd go as far as to call myself a sell out, but I'll definitely miss the car if she does sell. It just feels like the right decision at this point. Its definitely not going to be the last sports car I own by a longshot.

this will actually be the first season that i will be drag racing in. My gsx will be done in the next few weeks and my personal goal is to try and get her in the low 13's. With my setup I should have no problem. I am also aiming towards whooping on my buddies 03 cobra. I know he will be a tough challenge but he only runs 13.4 and he's not awd. The launching should give me a pretty damn good advantage. My friend Cory ran a 14.5 and on the street he would stay dead even until the top end of third gear. we will see!

Can I please be added to the List:

12.79 @ 112.55mph ---> 91 Talon Tsi Awd on an EvoIII 16g @ 22psi

GreatLakesDragaway 06' closing day:

I will be happy to add you to the list Josh. When you get the heart of your beast into another shell and make more passes we will make the listing bold as a currently running DSM.

Oh haha...Thats why their BOLD....

Well, hopefully when I get the heart into a new shell, I can move my way up to the 11 second list by the end of the year!

-Josh

BTW - That is an Excelent MPH for that ET. You defenitely had some quicker times in that set-up. I can not read your 60ft. time very well at all, but it may be where you lost a few tenths.

Keep up the good work.

Looks like a 1.94 60 foot to me. You definitely left at least .2 on the the 60', so that's a 12.5 run

Good luck on the rebirth!

It was a 1.840 60' actually, altho the next couple runs were all in the 1.7 60' range...I launch off a 5000rpm 2-step (studderbox)

The problem came with the 1-2 shift, with a slipping clutch and old trans fluid, this became quite a challenge....

Im guessing it could've easily been a 12.5 run, all of which on the original, mitsu clutch!

With the Spec clutch in, and my much smoother tune, I think the car would've been a consistent mid 12 car....Hopefully when I get the new project rolling, I can achieve the same feats, hopefully this time with a 4bolt lsd and a proper clutch

-Josh

I'm definitely going to try and get a few passes under my belt. Hoping to crack a 13 second slip..

Well made a few passes today, best one:

60' 1.746
330' 5.182
1/8 7.982
MPH 89.12
1000 10.425
1/4 12.476
MPH 109.89

On 18psi, not bad for 70 deg day and first outing of the year!

I need to scan the slip, but Darryl did witness it.

AWESOME Chris!!!!

Congratulations Man!

I will update your time on the list.

Thanks guys...I was yelling in the car like I won a big race. Kid in the shack thought I was nuts!

Got to give some thanks to NCgalant for the tune. Can't wait to get tune 2.0!

Here's some times for the evo 9, mods are TBE (with high flow cat) and a base flash (no increase in boost)

This is my first time racing the Evo and the first time at the track in almost 5 years!


R/T---3.489
60'---1.879
330---5.405
1/8---8.345
MPH---84.31
1000--10.905
1/4---13.067
MPH---101.36

This was actually my best time, but i think i actually braked a split second before the 1/4 mile officially ended!


R/T---2.205
60'---2.078
330---5.571
1/8---8.480
MPH---85.17
1000--11.019
1/4---13.163
MPH---103.53


R/T---0.488
60'---2.123
330---5.633
1/8---8.578
MPH---83.43
1000--11.149
1/4---13.297
MPH---104.93

I was really hoping for a 12 second pass, but i guess there's always next time. I ran it exactly like i run it on the street (93 octane, spare tire, everything in the car)


I'll scan the slips, i'm going out of town in the morning so it might be a week or so before i do it.

BRAKES?!? You've got brakes that will stop that car on a dime Kapoosh! Make sure you are all the way through the traps before you even think about braking... Hahaha

Seriously, those are good runs. The first one ties you with the other fastest stock turbo EVO 8. Andy's MPH was a lot higher, but you are right there on the ET Kapoosh.

Good job.

List your car in the garage so I can post your time up on the official Times list.

Awesome runs to both Chris and Kap!!

I just noticed "FASTEST LOCAL 14b".....

Yea, freakin insane time with that little turbo. Good work!

that was with a frank jr, not a frank 3

Oops. I'll fix that.

Got a lttle faster run Sat. on only 18 psi still have a little left in her...maybe.

12.431 @ 109.94 w/ 1.765 60'
