Yeah!!!!

Finally, I went to the track today and ran my best time ever.......12.78 @ 110.30 . The track was prepped very well and all of my runs (6) were under 13 secs. The average time were 12.8's @ 108-109.... Then on my last run before I left I let the car cool down for about 30-45 mins with ice sitting on the supercharger, then I also had Joe (RenntechV12, who was running 11.4's ) spay a mixture on the intercooler to keep it cool (I need to find out exactly what it was), but the temp guage was showing 43 deg (it was acutally mid 50's ) so whatever it was really cooled the intercooler down !!! Then I pulled up and let'er rip, pulled a 1.920 60' then on to my 12.798 @ 110.301.... I was sooo stooked.. and yes I did get it on video but I have never put a video onto the net so I will need to learn how to incase anyone wants to see it.

BTW track condotions:
Temp(*F): 55
Humidity(%): 21
Track Alt.(ft.): 1250
Pressure(in.): 30.05

dont know about that, the stock wheels weigh more than these do, so if they are faster I wouldnt see much of a difference, plus the stock wheels are thinner than these, so less traction off the line...

awesome times dude... i pulled the exact same ET but only at a 108mph trap with a 1.9 60ft time but i found out earlier this year that I had a minor boost leak!!! Temp was about 75 degrees that night. Looks like the Resonator delete does give the car a bit more ooomph on top judging by your trap. Congrats man...both our cars have the same exact engine mods... I think you just convinced me to do the resonator delete next week. BTW, send me the video and I can host it on my server for you. my AIM handle is Eurospek AZN or email me.. honsonL@baptisthealth.net

i suggest getting some lighter wheels to drop those times!!

nice times... and great trap speed...

12.7


question for you: how is your low end torque with the mods you have? One thing the C32 bothers me is the lack of low end torque from 1500 to 3000. Does the chip and pulley help?

I'm thinkin' the 19"'s hurt you a bit, and also correct tire pressure...

with stock 17"'s and good rubber you can probably be 12.6xx

Also, with the new intercooler design from EVOSport, we will start seing low 12's for the C32... From what the preliminary dynos provided.. they have boosted the power to over 400RWHP.

low end tq is awesome, it pulls hard from about 2k with the chip/pulley combo, boost hits quicker and there is a more tq down low than stock, so you would be very happy. I should also have a dynosheet here by years end, so everyone can see what power the car has. Yes I am waiting to see what EVOsport comes out with, I was very tempted to buy the headers, but I cant right now (see below). Hopefully I can add the headers and better intercooler here in a few months..

If I had the money I would grab some stock 17's and throw on some drag radials, but I bought another vehicle (scion xb) a few weeks ago so my modding money is gone for a while. I really needed the xb since I am driving about 4000 miles a month (its paying me back in gas savings & wear and tear).

Now, after looking around I just found out I dont have anyway to transfer the video ONTO my computer right now, so I will look for another way to have it posted here, I will probably have RenntechV12 post it for me....
