... and weighs 3100# (that's 1400kg). That's 1/4-mile 1320ft. I am working on a better launch technique and more boost off the line. The engine made 370whp on "only" 18psi (1.2bar). Some of you may rememebr the car and the engine build from about 3 years ago. I'll scan and post a time slip.

Pontiac Grand Am, about the size of a Calibra or Cavalier, maybe a little bigger. Except it is not AWD I wish I could figure out how to make it AWD. Thought about using one of your drivetrains, but I want to keep it automatic transmission.

Auto is the only way to race consistently. We all bracket race here, and you have to run closest to the bracket without going over, first to the finish line wins. Consistency is the key and the auto is the way to do it. That's why I put the 4T40 in it.
The 60ft is a low 2.1-2.2. When I get some prcastice and a smaller turbine housing (it's an .80a/r now, I need a .63a/r) I will be able to launch harder... a 1.6-1.7 will put me well into the 11's!
