hp/tq numbers?

You're the 4th person to ask this question, including myself!!! We all wanna know what numbers this thing pushes! Not to mention 1/4 mile and 0-60, perhaps a top speed.

 

[lowr3y]

i was also the first person to ask in this thread... I WANNA KNOW!!

 

[Herblenny]

We haven't gotten any numbers yet man! HP/TQ? 1/4 mile? Video???

I really didn't built this car for power or to drag, it still have all the emission stuff, AC, etc. I built it for weekend driving and just to have fun. My Black FD project and RX3 project is more for track application (No AC, No PS, No emission, bigger turbos, bigger injection, complete race suspension and brakes, etc..). If I had to guess (currently only running 11-12lbs) I'm making low 300 at the wheels.

I did however ran it last year with old set up (running 10lbs) on stock twins and ran 13.3.. But I'm a horrible drag racer and it was with street tires.

Here are some seq. pics someone took.

Don't get too stuck on numbers..

Above pictures of drag racing.. The guy I was racing with is a buddy of mine here in town.

He was running BNR stage 3 turbos (new version), non seq., drag radial, and making about 360 at the wheels. But my sequential system spools much better low end and hence I was pulling away from him in the beginning.. Numbers really don't tell you much and I never really care much to know.. And If I care about HPs, I would of bought an Z06 and turbo'd it. HP numbers if you really think about it, its only a tool to facilitate in tuning your car.
