The smaller the turbo, the easier it is to run a good ET for the power. It might take 360awhp with an Evo 3 16G or stock turbo Evo 8/9 to run 11.5, but with a bigger/laggier turbo it might take 50-100whp more. It's also way easier to launch smaller turbo cars. NLTS has made running bigger turbos and keeping them spooled much easier, losing boost between shifts is the ET killer on bigger turbo setups.

I know for sure a bigger turbo is harder to drive down the track. I ran a 11.8 at 126. And my best pass was a 11.5 at 124. Its not easy at all. You have more weight and who knows the X might be harder to drive down the track then a VIII or IX. I hope you hit a 10 second pass!

dont you need them fancy speed holes in the back bumper?

hell yeah, just incase the wind doesn't flip your car over! lol. SO many civics are doing that it's just funny. I'm guessing it's extremely aerodynamic/

It's funny having been around DSMs for a few minutes; seeing how people change during their run through the DSM community and their reactions to new comers with high hopes.

Anyone remember the welcome thread for dsm10sec? (haha) This reminds me exactly of it. And those who got to know me know exactly how much I stuck peoples feet in their own mouths.

Sorry to go so far off topic, but man, watching myself get flamed and then watching people like LaCroix use quarter mile calculators is fucking hilarious. :rollinglaugh:

Dave will probably run a 10.5 his first pass down the track just to piss everyone off. :)
