Hi all.

Thought id start a thread, just uploaded my first video to youtube. Check out my channel over the next few days for more vids, will upload more tonight.

Made 425whp @ 30psi of boost.

I have done around 15 runs since the build. The car has made 11.1secs @ 121mph and best 0-60ft was 1.58. The M&H drag slicks are incredible and it grips very well

Yeah hope so mate. Still got to fit a bucket seat and harness and remove some weight yet, also fit bigger rear tyres!

Cheers

Nice work man. Looks like a good setup.

Is it just me or does 425whp at 30psi seem kinda low for a 5831... What fuel was it tuned on?

I was assuming it was tuned on race gas when I saw you are running 30psi, but since its pump gas I'd say the power level is about right. I'm not really familiar with the quality of pump gas is where you live though. For some reason I was thinking this was a gt30r turbo so I was thinking at 30psi it would be closer to 500whp on race gas. Its probably tuned the same way I like to tune, more boost, more fuel, and less timing since its pump gas. Either way very nice setup man.

What sized slicks? That's a really good 60' time. Do you know how much boost it makes off the line?

Slicks are 24/8.5/15 M&H racemasters I highly recommend. Great service from them too!

I'm not 100% sure how much boost it makes on the line but it is -30% boost in 1st gear and full boost in the rest.

The guy who was mapping my car remoted in at the drag strip and we tweaked the boost by gear and it was best with -30% in first and full boost in rest to get the 1.58 0-60ft, few more suspension tweaks, some bigger and skinnier rear tyres and hopefully get in them 10's!!
