Default *** New Best for my Cartek Single Turbo ***

At today's rental I ran a best of 9.32 at 150.36 , I'm starting to get the launch more consistent , had a 1.43 60ft on this pass , best of the day was a 1.42 , the car is pretty violent without a boost controller , there's a fine line between spinning and hooking , still on my pump gas tune , ran it a little lighter this time , still a little over 3700lbs , the boost is getting turned up in the next week or so . I really beat on the car today , I was trying to break it and it kept taking it , I must have made a dozen runs , even hot lapped it a few times , my Cartek 402cid motor and RPM 4L80E trans performed like clockwork . Today was the first time I got some consistent seat time with the new set up , we'll see what happens with another 4-5lbs of boost .
As always , the car was driven to and from the track and run in full street trim . I'm looking forward to the next few weeks , I'll keep beating on this car until I reach my goal .

Big thanks to Cartek for having my car running strong and coordinating the rental .

Good seeing you at the track Mike. Your car is awesome to run those times and drive home. Like you mentioned, I kinda feel guilty beating the crap out of the cars but they seem to be holding up to the challenge. 8's are just around the corner.

My stock Bose system is good enough for me , plus there's no better sound than that turbo spooling on the street or track .

excellent pass. you got a chute on that thing yet? Lets see a pic of that setup. Looks like you have some time left in it. Didn't appear the turbos were spooled up when you left, but came up quick.

Thanks , I've analyzed the video , it seems it's fully spooled right about the 60ft mark , and it shifts 1-2 right there , we'll see what happens the way it is now , I may have to drop back down to a 3.15 rear . If I tried to come out harder the car would blow the tires off

Here's a few pics ,

A true street car. Amazing. Congrats on the new best and I can't wait to see it run on more boost.
