Nope was not me.....
- Thread starter TurboSnake95
- Start date
I wouldn't trust a turbo guy who is telling you he is only running 6 psi.
And you are right the 2v stuff loves the boost. Just don't over rev them! On a side note... let me know if you see my missing piece of connecting rod on your next track day.

I'll tell you what fuzzychicken, show up at the heads-up race on the 16th at Woodburn and run your super-scooby in the Drag Radial class...I'm pretty sure the car I'm talking about will be more than willing to show you what's up.
but I'm sure we'll here the usual ricerific book of excuses, and find one missing flat four on race day

Mine is a bone stock long block with unbderdrives, hat, throttle body and a street turbo kit and I run 10.90 at 130 and put down 490 rwhp and 536 lb ft at 10 psi.
Just hand the keys to Walter, I got my helmet! That thing is a wild rush

nope, no import class anymore, just wasn't the car count to support it.
the AWD cars are allowed in DR as long as they are on regular street tires no bigger than 27x9

Well there it is, That would be pretty cool to see VR4 vs Rootus vs Turbo Mustang, it could be like a small version of Turbo Thunder.
Besides the track is where when the compressor spins, the bull$hit ends!!

I beleive Street tires are ok at Headsup too. You should take your VR4 there, and see how it does. I think Lucas is looking for some 4 and 6 cylinders to run against in the Import class, at least I think they still have an import class

haha no thanks. i work with a couple guys that race. i know whats out there.
VR4 is just too heavy of a car to get off the line safely/quickly. average 60s are 1.6x-1.7x on a decent clutch. i believe i could run 1.5s with the mods sitting in my garage but i wont dare on the 6 speed and a full weight car.

1.6X 60' in that class would be very competitive, most of the cars are low to mid 11's with a few running high 10's.

thats doable. not with my current setup but what i have in the works for a track car would be somewhat competitive. trapped 131 in a friends full weight stealth before i bought the setup. too bad im not a big drag racer. im more into the turns.
Stock shortblock does not equal stock longblock with stock intake. 10 psi on an otherwise stock 5.0 will break 300 whp, but not by a large margin...

I suppose I may have underestimated the VR4...but..99% of the turbo stangs out there ARE NOT a stock car with a turbo...I thought that most people out there understood that that would be my assumption but I guess on this site you have to spell out exactly what you mean for people otherwise they misunderstand you...I was saying a couple bolt ons on a vr4 would in my opinion not hold its own against a decent h/c/i turbo stang, tuned and ready to race...most people I thought in turbo form ran more than 10psi...and with a decent h/c/i setup and 10+ psi on a 5.0 should make some nice power...power I didn't think that v6 could handle without some turbo mods...
I believe "TheDavid" here on stangnet has a H/C/I turbo car that they had to turn down to 7-8 to keep it in the 450 rwhp range.
Also, MM&FF mag did a "Stock" turbo car that went 10.60's with a HP kit, 60-1, a trans brake, and some wornout slicks,... but that was a mag car...

my car is also known as being a freak of sorts to the 3000gt board. ill be the first to admit its faster than it should be based on its mods. maybe its the mileage...maybe something else. i dont know.
i tried searching for thedavid and found nothing. would like to see his mods.

hehe. this thread was OT after the 3rd post
im also interested in the answer. love watching the bad ass fords run.
Well there are 3 things that will probably prevent me from running in your program down there:
1. I only have 1 seat in the car at this time. (DR class need 2)
2. I now have a electronic boost controler in the car. (DR class is manual only in engine bay)
3. I live like 140 miles away from PIR one way, so there and back would be 280 miles round trip
and gas is not cheap these days.Most likely I will just be running the CCC and Test and Tune up here at Pacific Raceway, and Bremerton Raceway.

The seat thing isn't an issue, and depending on how you're using it you may be able to get a waver for the boost controller...The distance however, I can't help with
