^Notice the dust all over...I drove through a mile and a half of gravel and unpaved road getting to this track. Perhaps that is why I spun all four out on this launch or the one before it?
I won't go into all of the details about why I havn't gone faster than 12 flat in the 1/4 but most (almot all) of it is my driving and some of it is small issues with the car. I also havn't run the race gas map yet.
Despite that shit...for the viewing pleasure of all import haters at Midwest Motorplex in Iowa...I smoked a few trailered in domestics (including the Plymouth you see being out launched right here) and every street driven car that showed up before being forced to leave early because of issues with the hydra in my (Lee's) car.

Nice dude, I'm still so impressed. I can't wait to see how you do on the race map =)
The gears are probably starting to hold you back as well. Shifting into 5th in the 1/4 mile FTL.

Jesus. What kind of trap speeds are you running that you have to shift into 5th?
Two feet.

Hell, I had to shift into 5th in my stock STi in the 1/4 (which is just shy of 100, I think?). The gearing must suck when you're making the kind of power that thing does.

Traps at MIR which is the only 1/4 mile track I've run on were between 116-118. This was at a somewhat lower boost setting (read as below 20psi) and the track temperature during my runs was from 95 to 105 degrees.
I want a flat foot shifting set up like I had on the Eclipse and a chance to run problem free at a decent temperature with maybe a little more boost. I dream of 120+mph traps.

118 is good for mid 11s. I predict high 120s and a dip into the 10s on 110 leaded or C16 with a bunch of practice.
Swap out gears 1-4 with PPG straight cuts? 10s all day long on race.
