We took Vinny's car to the track tonight so he could get his NHRA license. It's a 88mm Turbo 3v still running stock electronics.

Main goal for the evening was to get Vinny his NHRA license. First pass we were expecting to see about 14-15 psi. As soon as it came up on the brake, I could tell it was really wound up. The car launched violently and made it about 100 feet and it sounded like he lifted. Met him down at the end of the tranck and it blew the pipe going to the throttle body off and bent it bad. Checked the logs and the boost controller failed so the gate was stuck closed and it probably hit way over 20lbs for a few seconds. Car hasn't seen that much boost yet, seems like it's gonna like it. I thought we were done at that point but we got the pipe bent back and decided to make some passes on just the spring in the gate which is about 10 psi. Make a couple of half passes for his license and the car was a handful. The track is not the best and we have some other work to do on the suspension. We were able to rig up the wastegate and get it at a fixed 15 psi.
We were down to our last two passes and pressed for time. Vinny launched the car and had to lift 3 times and still mananged a 9.54@141. I was shocked considered he had to lift 3 times and we were only at 15 psi. 60' on that pass was a 1.37 which is pretty good considering the track. We didn't have much time and had to make one more hit. Left it pretty much the same setup but tried the other lane. Still had to pedal it but not as bad and managed a 9.42@148! I couldn't believe it. And this run only had a 1.46 60'. And also with no boost controller.
Here are the incrementals
1.46
4.00
6.11@117
7.90
9.42@148
On a clean hit with a good 60' on a good track I would say that is a low 9 at only 15psi! I can't wait to turn it up on a good track! Car will be at the NMRA Columbus race so hopefully we can turn it up there.
Here is a video of the pass
