I don't think you realize how hard it is to get decent traction in these cars. I'm not talking about 1.9 60ft's either. I'm talking about real traction.

I'm just giving you ****. But if you do go 12's, then big props. But for real, I better go 11's.

I will prove you wrong. I may be stressing the utter hell out of the stocker, but I will get there. I plan on running slicks, every traction mod I can think of, and will be fully bolted on. I am running 13.0@109 on just a tune right now. So, knock off half a second for the slicks, and I would say half a second from the extra power, and I should be down there. I will be a 12.2, that I will absolutely guarantee.

My 13.0@109 is with a 2.2 60'. If I get a 1.9 (praying for a 1.8), that will knock off at least half a second, plus, more power, optimized gearing from the taller slicks, and i think i got it.

That will be easy. I mean... I figured out I am pushing around (no dyno numbers yet) 275-280 to the wheels, on the conservative side, on the more optimistic side, I am 290-295, and thats just a tune. Everything else is stock. So, I think its possible. With my end goal being 350 whp on the stock turbo, I think 11.90's are possible.

BUT... we will see. the car is gonna end up being a prototype ***** most of the season, so its gonna be a short season this year for me. I will promise a 12.5 for sure. 12.2 hopefully, and 11.90 maybe, lol. I'm ready to represent the LNF crowd.

I don't think you will see 11.90's on the stock turbo without a shot of nitrous. I would love to see it happen though!

I would love to see a shot of nitrous... but I would also like to NOT see the internals of my engine laying on the track.

Mmmmmm... I don't wanna push that just yet. I don't have the money to fix it if I blow it, so it will wait. Maybe next year.

I got some heartbreakers coming... just waiting for them to upload.

Good job miller!


I am number 4886, btw.

13.088
Pic #1
Pic #2 and a shameless plug, lol

That should secure me 7th or 8th right? Mods are TTR mounts, sportlines, and HPTuned. Otherwise I am stock!

Thanks man! I still gotta work on that 60', and I think ill be down with you. I must admit, I have a pretty good tune, and I would like to thank Alex (overbooster), terminator 2, and Matt for teaching me everything I know about tuning, and helping me out when I need it.
