Back from the track - Another 13T car in the 11s

[Forest Gump]

very nice 60 ft/s. What is your launch technique?

[badblackVR4]

probly a typical vr4 launch....about 4750rpm.....clkutch as close to letting go as possible at a standstill....a little rev to around 5200 rpm for the launch to catch the first burst and good feathering for what seems like an eternity but its only a second before a good shift to second and a 2003 M3 in your rearview mirror thinking wtf was that...lol....oops that was not too long ago

Nice work Ryan. I was hoping to hit 11's this year but ignition/electrical problems have prohibited my car from being another 13T 11 second car (and now I'm leaving the country for the rest of the year).

Keep up the good work, 13Ts are definitely the best bang for the buck turbo for our cars.

Funny stuff. When I first read his launch post I thought it was lawdogg and got confused about the m3 info. I'm posting/reading from a tiny iPhone screen and had to scroll over.

Anyways, congrats lawdogg! 11 sec is a great time on 13t.

I start revving when the first yellow comes on, then I bounce the revs up and down around 4500-5500 (stab gas, let off) and I try to time it so the green hits right as the revs hit and upward bounce, then I just drop the clutch and floor it. I found it works the best this way, the car never bogs, the clutch always holds, I'm thinking from the momentum of the flywheel or something like that. If I don't bounce the revs or drop the cluth too soon the car will bog or the clutch will slip. The only problem with this method is traction ... on my good 60's my fronts were spinning, and on my bad 60's all 4 were spinning.

Thanks man. I forget when that is! I'll have to check. I'd like to go for sure.

Thanks! I certainly do enjoy these turbos, and for $750 total cost (I found mine CHEAP) I think it's a pretty good $/hp. Your car is gorgeous! Good luck overseas though.

You know it's hit or miss on the paint. People love it or they hate it. There was one other car at the track with the exact same paint .... but it was a caged and tubed camaro running 8's.

Thanks Scotty ... I'm looking forward to seeing your beast on the road, eating stop signs and huff puff blowing down the 1/4 mile.

Ha Ha. You and me both my friend. The flywheel arrived today so hopefully I get her back later this week, then of for tuning.
