Ran my black starion saturday in the 1/8

[1 Bad 68]

Considering what happened I am very very impressed with the results. You can ignore the ET, this was the very first time I had launched at the track w/ 200 more whp than before so I was planning on running it over 10 times and just get different feels for it. On the way to the track 2 studs came loose on my exhaust manifold that hold the turbo on. I was pissed, but going to run it anyways. I was runnning 15psi and on 93 before the turbo started lifting up. While goign down the track it was slow spooling and most boost I saw was 13psi :(

First pass

2.2 60' :rolleyes:
8.8 et :rolleyes:
85mph trap :D

Second pass
2.5 60'
9.4 et
81mph
:mad: Car sounded like a mufferless lawnmower going down the track and most I saw was 8 psi in 3rd, 1st and 2nd didn't seem tor egister any boost. 2.5 60' cause it bogged like hell and I tried re launching and it still bogged like hell again, then I knew what was up whne it wouldn't go anywhere! I limped it home and the next morning I go to see exactly how loose the turbo was and it would lift up a 1/2" all the way aroudn the manifold. Its at the machine shop getting fortified right now.

I will be looking for 93mph on pump & 20 psi and 115+ inthe 1/4 on pump. Race gas will be over 140 more WHP so I'm not even going to try to predict how it will go down the track then. I was very happy how it ran the first pass considering!

Congrats OB. Glad to see the turbo is working out for u. It gets in it's efficiency range at around 20-24 psi. Time to CRANK it up. :partydanc

damn OB, but like you said ...considering the condition it was running in. it did really well!! that thing is going to be a beast once you get things straight. the next time you head to the track give me a call. 256-654-2333 incase you don't have it anymore.

Damn good. Sounds like we would be a good run.

Depends on where you're at. My best at Bama was 8.8, and that was beating the shit out of the car all night to get that time. Yet at MMP, I can belt out .3 sec consistently faster in the 1/8th.

Nice times for sure; get those bugs worked out cause I want to see it soon (maybe at Steele)

Got the manifold back today, shouldn't be having any more problems in this area. Will be going back this Saturday night. I'll be going to 1/4 track after I install my coper head gasket. I'll let yo bitch ass know when dat be!

I'm curious how the copper HG works out. I was going to get one from Toysport, but they discontinued them.

Even I cut better 60's than that. :cackle:
