Frank, in the 2 runs that I saw him, was very consistent. 12.89X and 12.90X.

Shahid ran a 13.1XX for his first run, then this 14.4XX

I think it was less Shahid's fault so much as lacking an LSD, in this case. Although Frank was just rolling out of the box - he wasnt even launching lol.

nice if he wasnt trying to launch hard then he should be able to run a tenth or so faster if he can find the sweet spot for rpm/wheel spin and get out of the hole a bit faster.

Not at all. I remember years ago (around 2005 or so) in my almost-stock LS1 Camaro, when people ran up to my car once I ran a high 12 and how it was pretty quick. Ahhh, back when a low-300 HP V8 wasn't bad...

you should man.. the drag strip is a ton of fun. its a great way to learn shift points for your car. you can learn what rpm in what gear is best to shift at to maximise responce for the next gear... autocross is also tons of fun, u can learn breaking points for your car, what it can and can not do at different speeds threw different corners. it helps a lot when your having some fun doing spirited runs on back roads..

Ever since seeing what they can do I have had a new respect for them. Truly amazing and cheap to mod.

This one is sitting at 190hp and 210tq. Just got a new manifold and turbo and VVT tuner and 3" exhaust. Should be around 250/250 mark. Then new rods and tranny hopefully before Carlisle for the 300/300 mark.


ALLLLSSSSOOOOOOO
Daddy got a new toy today...
