No 9-second run for me...but I did trap 148 mph:)

The problem is that we are already spinning the motor at 7800 rpms in 4th gear on stock internals. i was thinking about short shifting into 5th at about 6800 rpms and see if i can see 150 mph trap speeds in 5th gear.

On a side note, now that I don't own my car any longer, I feel better about making public trap speed predictions with it's current GT35's.

I'm predicting Brad will hit 152 mph in that car.

Congrats on the sale! I am sure the new owner is extremely excited about his new acquisition! Can't wait to see those 150 mph+ trap speeds!

DK996TT, you just need to use slightly taller tires, no other changes.

Brad, congrats on your purchase.

An old and effective trick. Good advice.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I must be trying to follow in your footsteps Jean. I managed a 147.5 this weekend, taking it easy on her for now. Will make one 150+ run on c16 with the new 35 turbos then she goes out to pasture for a life of ease.
