I think he also took a dump too.

I bogged it down to like 1.5k RPM's, figured I was gonna lose anyways, so just left the clutch out, and waited for spool, and waited...... and waited....

2x- curious to see your mods.

lol thats pretty awesome. i spotted a full second to a z car on reaction time and was able to catch/pass him despite rolling off the line (2.1 60 ft). unfortunately it was the only run all night that my friends didnt get on video

the middle slip

Thanks. Mods are in this thread. I'm thinking I might have the 'EJ205 w/stock intercooler' 1/4 time record, but not on this pull

wow- thats an awesome trap for those mods. have you ever dyno'd your car? that meth kit must really help lower the temperature of the intake charge with that turbo on a stock IC. does the IC stay pretty cool after passes or does it heatsoak even with the meth?

it took me a minute to find what i was looking for, but this is the first thing i thought of when i read your thread title...

Looks normal to me. The car that got the jump at the line most likely broke before or around the 1/8th mile...so he was probably only going 150mph

and coasting...

How is that vette so slow..? It looks like its barely moving once it gets halfway down the track.

It's was just a completely stock/original carbureted 427, so it's not that fast, power/weight wise. Guy was really nice. Said he missed 3rd. He still trapped 100mph. His wife took the video. Couldn't believe I caught him.

Not quite but keep at it,...A few of us have gone sub 13 on the EJ205 with stock TMIC
Heres mine

Nice traps

Love beating vettes and mustangs

Apparently no one has heard of a "delay box"

also thats an awful lot of mods for a 13.3 pass. Decent mph, but pretty bad ET's.

Is that your best ET?

I tune ultra-conservative. I'd rather be able to drive the car home than lower my ET. But that's just me.

My launches are bad because I baby the clutch. Once again, that's just me. This is the original clutch at 120k miles.

Wow; sub 13 on the TD04

You've really got a good tuner.
