[Ed the SOHC]

fun shit!

Feels totally different than street racing. First time I went I didn't realize how long a 1/4 really was.

how many psi you boosting stock?

[raf2379]

i'm only boosting 6-7psi stock

[silverEL]

ya i saw u there, good runs!

[Ben]

damn, thought those cars were faster...oh well, at least you had fun.

[Daddymax]

At least you didn't snap your axle.......

[James]

not bad considering it was your first time and its stock! :thumbsup:.there are a couple other turbo probes on here in the 15's, with not a whole lot done, so there is definatly room for improvment.

[cocoabrova]

The first time out is always a killer....But at least you came out to try:thumbsup:Your times should get lower once you figure out how to launch your car and get your 60' times down;)

Did you go to Race City last night, cocoa? I saw an MSP at Mohawk, not sure if it was yours though.

yeah, I honestly though they were probably faster than that as well...
What was that car factory rated at for HP/Tq?....Anyone, Bueller, Anyone??..

[raf2379]

The car is faster than 16.8. the factory specs are 145hp and 194tq, and a 15.8 1/4 mile. My driving just makes it slow :P

some sources say these cars were rated at the wheels, but a dyno will tell the truth.
