I went out to test the new setup. For those of you who don't know:

old setup: Revhard unported, T04B

New setup: Groundzero manifold, T3/T04E 50trim w/.63ar

I am running 2 psi less on the new setup. Tonight I was touching 10psi, but it was exceptionally cold tonight. Usually its at 9psi.

On the second run, I pulled 1% fuel from 4000rpm on.

These timeslips only included 1/4 ET and 1/4 trap speed. My track featured a 60's series race which means NO amber bulbs, stage and then GREEN. Needless to say, it wasn't much of a "test and tune" night NTM street cars were poo-ons all night.

1st run:

Notes: Launched okay by feel. Pretty sure I was spinning a little. Second gear I slipped the clutch way too long in order to keep from spinning. I obviously overdid that and ended up shortshifting to 3rd. I also shifted into 5th which was also a mistake.

2nd run:

[email protected]

Notes: Launched like it was my first time ever drag racing.lol Spun first way too long(I'm glad they didn't include a 60' here). I then missed second. After that, I drove it pretty well(not too hard from here.lol) I didn't shift to 5th this time, so I now know that 5th isn't required yet.

I won both races. First was a restored chevelle. Beat him hole-shot. Second was some old school vert. No idea what kind of car. But he pulled me off the line, and when I missed second. When I hit third, I began to gain on him and right before the line, I passed him pretty fast.

All in all, a decent night.

so then im assuming u feel the car is quicker right? i love that mani although the price is heftty for my wallet. then again that manifold's price really isnt too far from IAP's. when does ur new turbo spool? im sure with the extra two psi, u will trounce ur new time given u drive the same way u did to achieve that time in your sig. gville raceway right?

Yea. Trap speed shows that it picked up. Turbo spools to full boost by I wanna say 3500rpm, maybe lil sooner. Gainesville raceway, correct. Should come up again so I have some company out there. I was lonely being the only import and outtrapping most of the cars there.LoL

My T04B is sitting in my garage. I'm saving it for a friend of mine that helped do a lot of work on my car back when I first turboed it. He will be running my old setup.

i unfortunately dont even know when next i will have a chance to come up there and go to the track with u. just started med school so there goes another seven years of my life. i will say that when i do get out of med school, my car will be redone FULLY so that the power its producing should exceed structure's current numbers. but by then im sure he wouldve already hit 1000hp or so or gotten bored with car.

i forgot all about the village people thread........i wonder if that is "up and running" on the pintotech forums. lol.

+1 for Cory
