For reference. 2 other SVT's ran 15.7 @ 90 & 1 at 15.4 @ 90 I wasn't too far behind Sam (or Merlin) at a 14.8 @ 94 & a 2.25 60' Hopefully we'll get the video's online soon... Sam & I both hit 3rd at the same time, pretty much side by side (I treed him and he spun a ton) and then he was flat out GONE!  He made almost .5 seconds on me between the 1/8 and the 1/4 & I was no slouch either... I also Can't wait until We run at a good track... KCIR sucks!!!

I will have Tom's contour into the 14's pretty quickly, he is looking into the 75 mm maf, plug wires, ur pulley, and a superchip, if that doesn't get a 14.8 or so, it is going bottle fed.

i don't care how much money i put into my motor (duratec), i still don't see it beating my friends' eclipse thats running low 12's with 25lbs of boost and NOOOO nos! he wont even think of putting nos in his car. that all-time 4wd really helps with the launch, and then you can forget about catching him.

probably wouldn't get traction, at that much boost, lots of suspension tuning and slicks, and other stuff.

Yes but at 25psi of boost it would go 200+ mph... :p
Dependant on compressor size of course.
25psi on a T3 would do diddly! 25psi on a TD05H-20G on the other hand!!!

PS- this really should be in the forced induction forum. Your original post of near or right at 350 hp with a stock weight svt and slicks (assuming a 2.000 60' time) would place you in the 13.2-13.3 range. Defintely in reach of high 12's with a push in hp. Btw, Mark, what was your dyoed hp and tq again and at what rpm? Wanna do some figuring, just in case I see ya at spring zing 02'

Best dyno run to date has been 293.6fwhp w/ 214ft-lbs.
Figuring 18% parasitic loss of the drive train that put me at 358hp.
Since that dyno I had Terry Make & install a set of gutted exhaust manifolds & added water injection... During the dyno session where I was trying to see how much of a gain I was getting, the SC committed suicide. Below 4 grand with the water injection turned on i was getting almost 20fwhp over not using it, but after 4 grand the SC vibrations were so bad the car couldn't make any more power.
With the SC killing itself I pulled 252fwhp.
