Still on the stock td04 turbine housings, stock exhaust manifolds, intake manifold, stock heads/cams, and many other off the shelf parts, we took this car up to Bakersfield to see what it would run. The weather was fantastic, and on the first run out the car ran an 11.2@125. This was on just 22 psi, and we had a lot of room to move. We did a bit of tuning, gave it some power and came off the line on the 2step with anti lag. It just spun all four tires. Next run out we dropped boost in first down to 17 psi and it held up ok, but when boost bumped in second, it free spun the wheels in second right into the limiter. We knocked down boost in second, and dropped the boost in first a bit as well. With stepped boost control, Eric managed a high 1.6 short time on just 15psi in first, 22 in second, and 26psi in third. Fatal problem? The clutch let go, which prevented a quicker time, but at least we were able to beat our previous best of 11.4 @ 120! Remember that this is still a full weight car (3900 w/o driver) with street tires and a full interior on road race suspension! VIDEO
