14.9@96mph 3.4L turbo

SpyhunteR · 01-24-2004, 03:38 PM

Okay Deek called me from the track. first run ever, untuned, just going out to run the car. He is an excited kid right now afterall.

It yielded a 14.9@96mph... what that means? he needs to work his beginning of the run. 2.4-2.5 60fts aren't gonna cut it.

But damn kinda crazy no?

Tonyyank · 01-24-2004, 03:53 PM

Nice!!! Mid 14;s should be possible!!

SikMindz · 01-24-2004, 03:56 PM

14.9...in Vegas? Holy bajeezus!

H.O. Driver · 01-24-2004, 03:58 PM

Nice, that will be a beast once its tuned and cam'd!
It can only get faster from there.

boosted cars don't have that big of a disadvantage at elevations as much as all motor cars Dern....

Between here and cali tracks, you won't see that big of a difference on boosted cars.

Deek00 · 01-24-2004, 06:54 PM

hahaha last run of the day 14.7 @96 mph, and i have a boost leak

H.O. Driver · 01-24-2004, 07:09 PM

Post a slip, I wanna see how much mph you gain in the back half, see how well your turbo is working, even with a vacuum leak.

Good base runs!

kubiache · 01-24-2004, 08:23 PM

Much congrats, dude. That's awesome news. Video, by chance? I'd love to have a vid and hear the whine of a turbo coming out of a GA.

Vinaashak · 01-24-2004, 08:35 PM

Hmmm sounds like a good time. THere are those days when i wish i had a turbo. But a 96 mph trap speed should put you mid to low 14's when you get everything straightend out.

SpyhunteR · 01-25-2004, 04:18 AM

he sucks at 60fts give him a break.. I still own him in the 60ft... ask anybody who was out at the LVDR get together on thursday... heh... Credit card is in the mail.

oh yeh.. please give him advice in tuning 3.4 guru's.... PLEASE... I'm not a 3.4 guy obviously and I can't help him out as much as you guys could.

Irate · 01-25-2004, 09:53 AM

Sounds awesome man... you should be around a 14.5 w/ better 60's

oh, btw - PM me w/ your best timeslip info and I'll add it to the 1/4 mile thread.

AaronGTR · 01-25-2004, 12:04 PM

Nice times. Yeah with that kind of trap speed you'll be running mid 14's in no time once you get your launch technique down. Some better tires and a little more boost and tuning, and you could be looking at a high 13. Congratulations.

Vinaashak · 01-25-2004, 12:35 PM

What kinda altittude are you runnin at cause im runnin 2.245 60' time on 15.9 passes. You should be down in the 2.1 2.0 range.

jaketuff · 01-25-2004, 01:31 PM

Nice baseline's...

Now you need to tune... = $$$$.
*Let's see what it costs you to get a 14.3

iceman · 01-25-2004, 01:39 PM

Congrats on the times and turbo setup Deek

Deek00 · 01-25-2004, 01:47 PM

thanx guys on the congrats....
i need to work on the 60 foots, i really need a pair of slicks or drag radial. My tire spin is rediculous.
Just estimating with good tires i should be around 14.3 without tuning. I also have a msd ignition on the way, plus a apexi afc. And im working on getting it computer tuned. My boost leak should be worked out today or tomorrow. By the 13th of Febuary ill post some much better times.

Any buddy got any computer programs, or chips to tune a turbocharged grandam?

attn phantom: how did you get yours tuned

DHP, e-mail them, it might be expensive but I am sure they can set up something with you via e-mail or phone. They have experience with the GN's and Typhoon / Syclone aswell, so turbo's are not new to them.

Whats the difference in your 1/8mi MPH to your 1/4mi MPH?

EDIT: damn, Seth beat me to it. ugh

Deek00 · 01-25-2004, 04:37 PM

1/8 mph= 76.29
1/4 mph= 96.13

Doug · 01-25-2004, 04:47 PM

MPH is good for 14s flat with a nice 60' How many #'s were you launching on? Get a nice set of d/rs and heat them up well.
