We broke 400whp testing a Bullseye S256 turbo swap. I took the 256 off because we needed a stock turbo for testing all of the parts we are releasing. You can read the 400whp thread. It's all posted in there. I came out and stated that we will be pushing the stock turbo to the 11s. Since we recently hit 11s, the 256 will be going back on soon.

We will race it at least one more time before swapping the turbo. I'm hoping for 11.8s at 116.

Also, how do you measure times from a roll? Just curious, this must be a new fangled racing that I have never heard of. You bring up track times, then you bring up roll racing, which one do you want to talk about. Let's quit being bi-polar here, and get the topic straight. Track racing is the only racing that matters, because it is the only racing that is measurable. End of story.
So you're saying this isn't an accurate measurement of my car's power vs. a 311whp gutted RSX-S?

I think that's a pretty good measurement. Mind you, that was before I even had a Harrop on my car.

You are right. I don't know why we even bother to dyno our cars. Your method of aquiring horsepower data is obviously superior.

Thank you. Why does it always have to be a numbers game? My car drives on the street. If it can outrun cars on the street that are faster than mine at the track, whos car is honestly faster? Let's say I make more power, can outrun the car on the street, but can't beat it at the track. Which one is the most accurate description of the car's performance? Mind you, the drag strip requires driver skill and proper launching/set up.

I understand what you are saying. If your bottom line is beating other cars from a roll, then that is really all that matters. However, please don't come in here talking about how our dyno reports inflated numbers when we ran 11s on under 330whp. I don't typically street race, so dyno numbers and track times are my bottom line.

troof. from a roll, no matter the mph. i always rape my friends '95 z28 with: gears, intake, headers, o/r y pipe, catback, built trans, and dr's(even tho ist a roll) but at the track he always beats me. but thats because of his launch. he doesn't have to worry about a balance between clutch and throttle. he just foot brakes it to the stall, letss of and punches the gas. 1.8 60' every time. but by the 330 mark he's stopped aggressively pulling, and by 1/8 i'm gaining back ground. theres about a half a second in our 60' time. but about .200 in the ET

i dont mind getting bumped one, but for the record...
i was mid 10.s afr, and at the end of the run, my egt peaked at 1350 for .03 seconds.
my octane was way too high to make power safely without more data going to the track.
all i could buy was vp 109, and after 1 run i knew it was way too slow. sure a guy can spike the timing, but then cant use the giggle gas. i ended up dumping some 91 in to make about 98 octane,
which, IMHO; is still too high. i asked a couple people with experience for help, and offered to pay for said advice, but it would seem they are too rich to want my money, and would rather lol at me with a blown up motor.....so i played it safe. the car has more in it, but its hard to beat the fun i get from my 10 second ride. hell, even my new daily camaro will see 11's easily, as ive had it to a 12.4@114 on stock int/exh.
