back to the track

I have went back to the though its not the fastes thing in the world it is getting quicker.
1.65 60ft
6.89 1/8

My goal is in the 6.50 range and with a trans brake and the right turbo I should get there easy. I have some video if some one wants to host it.

Those are good times! I think we are making pretty similar power with the same turbo, should be around 650-675 at the crank. Youll get there once you get that 60' down.

Im about to change to a s480 with the 85 mm turbine wheel and the 1.10 housing. It takes way to long for the boost to come in. I also am about to order a trans brake and a cage the track said I had to have one befor I come back. The motor is only 7.8 to 1 so its taking some time to figure the tune out.
