1/8th mile vid
finally remembered my camera. that clip was my best of the day, it was kinda humid and really hot but i am pretty happy with what i got...
reaction .149
60' 2.040
330' 5.691
1/8th ET 8.672
Mph 83.464
bfg's g force sports @ 21 psi
turbo at about 11 psi
sorry for the long start, just as i am about to scrub the tires the guy runs out with the mop to get some oil some guy droped infront of me. ended up lining up with the only miata i have ever seen there ever. it was a stock nb.

i dont try to *****, i just remember when putting together my setup i never saw ANY videos, once people turbo its like they never share it.
suspension is ground controls with agx's and some homemade shock mounts and fat cat bump stops. i dont know much about suspension theory for drag racing, but someone was telling me stock is the way to go.
i am really going to try to get a 8.5 out of it when i get the camber zero'd out and figure out the best tire pressure and get my torsen in. then once i get that done its time for a little more power and try for a 8.2 with my body panels all on :gay:
talked to the owner of the nb after the race and hes looking into a begi kit i think he said. i pointed him to this site for some research.

man i think i agree. it really feels like it struggles at 60 mph, looking at my vacum gauge i have to give it about 4 more in/hg to stay at the same speed than i had to. i am hoping the extra weight vs the loss of drag will be minimal. itll help counter some of the weight i think. at 100mph the car feels like it stops moving.
still getting 24 mpg though 2 better than stock, and i beat the **** out of it every time i drive it now since i dont commute with it

my shitty 96whp car gets about 7mph on the long straight at hallett (85mph vs like 92mph) with the hard top. I bet he'll get a ton more than that considering he's well into 2x the power...and probably a similar trap speed.
