Re: Track Time, maybe.

I had a couple of friends of mine out there, one of which, Charlie, was running his twin t-61 turbo Camaro with a 355 cid sbc. He never could make a full pass with it, kept getting loose and loosing traction once the boost came on (18 psi), especially once it got past the 1/8th mile marker. This is a full race chassis Camaro, fiberglass front cap, tubbed rear, big slicks, etc. He had to let out of his best pass, but it still went 9.65 @ 121.xx mph. The car has gone 8.56 @ 164.xx on his old engine, so we are all waiting to see what the new engine does.

So anyway, none of them are really into DSM's or know anything about them all that much. They are all v8 guys. So on my second pass at 21 psi I hit an 12.224 @ 115.22 on a 1.92 60 ft they thought that was all I was going to see out of pump gas. I told them there was an 11 second pass in there and they were about to see it. Well once I got back to the staging lanes with that 11.88 time slip they were really impressed. I could see a couple of them getting that look in their eyes that this little 4 banger might put a hurt on a couple of their v8 race cars with some c16. Isn't life great?!?!?
