I am running a .63a/r turbine housing now, which doesn't match up perfectly with my downpipe. It is mated up with the .60a/r compressor, which will get near your goal with the .48a/r turbine housing.

Had a good night, didn't see more than 118 so I put the timing back. I did take first place

I mean, all those mustangs belong to my buddies. They all congratulated me as I eliminated them one by one. That silver one with the jacket on the mirror is a 5.0 with a Whipple blower on it, trapped 130. Everyone but that guy said how fun it was to see a Miata passing them up, can't touch that guy. The only person who wasn't happy for me was the last race, a new Z06 who was unamused at taking 2nd to my car, and he could barely pull on me, and we both red lit. Oh yeah, they all got real tires too.

He only trapped 2 MPH faster than my car did.

Ha ha ha, thanks guys!
I actually trapped 116 that pass, and the Z06 went 118. We only got about a minute or two between the last couple passes, so we were both running pretty warm. He ran 11.6 or something like that, red lit worse than me and broke out by a couple tenths.
It was fun, can't wait until tomorrow night. I have the same situation with a job to do after the race, it will be in the back of my head just enough to make decent passes. Well, that's my current hypothesis anyway, we'll see how it goes.

Doubt that’s a z06. Normal auto c7 here traps 118 every single pass it runs no matter what.

Seriously Vlad? That is definitely a Z06.

I haven't seen too many production cars trap more than 125. That silver mustang with the Whipple blower, a red SS Camaro also with a Whipple, and a couple GT-R's. Nope, not the GT500's or the hellcats. I will take a picture of his car if he's there again today.

I looked up the results, all it said was 2015 Vette, he actually trapped 119 not 118 and his name is Marcello coincidentally. I am not too keen on the latest model years of cars. I will try to get a picture of his car.

How fast was Junior's car, my car was DOA the previous time?

I should also mention that e85 is scarce around here, not like Sac. I think most people are running CA91.

All posted test results show 125-128mph. Bone stock. So unless he’s sandbagging....dunno what to say. Hard to lose 10mph from driving unless you majorly mess up.
Junior hasn’t run it yet. Wanna run him? He’s dying to do it

I bet it's a grand sport. Almost visually indistinguishable from a Z06 but just the normal engine.

Or a terrible driver.

Yeah I was about to say the same: it has to be a grand sport. A terrible driver can definitely drop trap speeds, but to lose 10+ mph? Doubt it.

Anyways, Junior is planning to hit sonoma tonight Carlos, so let's do this

*edit: texting you his number now
