Default Not your typical drag race...

Not sure what to expect but it should be fun. 1/2 mile drag racing from a dig or a roll. http://www.wannagofast.com, this Saturday. The event is full but people are still welcome to come spectate. They don't give you E.T. but do give you trap speed via cops with laser guns. Me and the evil twin are going to be there. Check out https://www.facebook.com/wannagofastllc and look at the March 24th album to see the competition.

Anyone want to guess my trap speed in the 1/2 mile? I'm guessing 151mph. Car trapped 125 in the 1/4 from a dig. 539whp after the retune a few weeks ago.

I will be recording and posting vids as usual. Hope to get some good kills

Prep/launch pad will be the biggest factor. If its no good, you will cry at the trap.

I was a little disappointed. The recirculated wastegates are hurting my power curve. Car went 141mph. My buddies 2007 NISMO HR GTM Stage 2 car running 1/2 psi less boost but making about 30 more peak horsepower went 153mph.

Some Vids:
Missed two gears in this one and barely hawked him down at the end. Terrible driving. It was a Mustang with an Eaton roots blower.

Busted this guy bad, you could never see him in the vid. Car was overboosting so I reached up and turned it down a level!

This is the dyno on the same day, same dyno, same tuner. The only difference is the recirculated wastegates versus open dumps on his car. My car made 539.9 and I think Mitch (the top curve) made 555 but look at the difference in torque at 4000 rpm! Now multiply this through 1/2 mile in 5 gears!
