Thread: Project Turbo Parts car !

You might see 113 to 115 in the 1/4 if you have everything on point which might scratch at 11s.

Fyi I trap 116 in the 1/8 with my current setup.

I'm not one to try and inflate my numbers. My HP number is simply an educated guess but who knows until I dyno it.
BUt my E.T> is real...

100 mph in the 1/8 is no joke. 7.7 is not bad either considering I had huge wheel spin and am part throttle for much of first 200 feet even on my little slicks.
At the strip I expect between mph and better 1/8 ET with the VHT.

You guys are underestimating this car myself.

I went low 120s with the same setup with 500lbs less but I was flowing alot more air than you.

I'm running 100 mph in the 1/8 bank on it. My GPS performance meter does not lie. I freaked out on my 1st pass, I was blown away. Never expected this much performance.
GPS performance meter confirmed the feeling in the seat.

There is no estimation going on here... this is hard math with nothing to guess at.

I can't wait to see this myself!

So your guess is I trap 113 mph in the 1/4 ?
You know I trap 100 mph in the 1/8. So I'm only gaining 13 mph is the last 660 LOL !!

Come on man. I have to trap no less than 119 mph and most likely over 120 mph ! unless I have to deal with a NASTY head wind.

The math around here is on par with some of the epic snowflake threads.......

I happen to have a 330whp 400wtq cammed E85 Gen5 car that if I put it in 2 gear start im sure I could blow away the tires all day long too like them vids.
Dyno or track numbers is the only way this is going to get sorted out considering pretty much everyone thinks the estimates are all out of whack!

Think that cars making 330/400 on stock injectors?
(me personally I doubt it)

I see you haven't been properly introduced to 4t65e 3rd gear yet. Lol.

You're not trapping 100... hell I didnt and I was rwd running 10s on a stock motor and trans.

I think what a lot of this is coming down to is dyno/drag slips. No one is going to believe you're doing what you claim because it's been tried before and it hasn't had the same results. Prove everyone wrong...get legit info.

Yeah 3rd gear worries me, seems like it likes to slip according to the videos and reading I've checked!

If it slips in 3rd gear all bets are off. But so far in the highway pulls I have done, it has not slipped.
I know that my 1/8 mile is truly impressive and 100 mph, the GPS meter doesn't lie.
It shows you guys have never used one of these. My GPS meter is worth 2500$ and I use it for tuning winning race sleds.
It's accurate to 1 hundred of a second.

I know 100 mph is impressive, heck my 2.8 pullied 07 GT runs in the 81-84 mph in the 1/8. This turbo GTP blows it away.

I think one thing that helps me is my trans is really working well with the 2nd gear start. Not much slip and I'm running 18-16 deg timing depending on RPM.
The car is fairly light at 3300 lbs with driver (again that is an estimate) i'll have to go to a scale to be sure.

Don't take me for a fool. I've been tuning and racing since 1998. Mostly street cars on pump gas but in the last 5 years doing more and more race machines.
Unless I break something at the track I will be coming back with the timeslip. Then you can stop doubting LOL !

I will take a look see if there is slack.

What is strange is the 1st gear worked perfectly when the car went in the garage and never worked since. I don't have a tranny code usually but I did get a code briefly about the shift solenoid in the trans, which everything points towards.

But I check the cable to be sure, thanks !

Oh, I'm not taking you for a fool at all...possibly just not familiar with this platform. I've been involved for less time than others who have posted, but I've had my hands in a lot of builds. I've seen what a lot of these parts will hold up to...what they max out at...I'm just saying (as well as everyone else here is saying) don't be surprised if you aren't as fast as you thought.
