997tt mile run

here is the 0-300kph graph from that run:



This was a strictly bolt-on kit with no special voodoo or antics required, and 100% or better than stock drivability and manners. No CEL lights on, no stumbling. By comparison, VRAlexander's CGT ran 177mph. Hats off to Mike and Todd for a great job on this!

You said 0-60 in 4.2, am I reading the graph wrong? I see 0-60 in 2.5-3sec.... 4.2 seems slow and 3 seems nuts fast. A stock turbo does 3.6

WOW amazing

The graph is in km/hr.

I cannot see what your top speed was at the Tx Mile this year? (I see it was 185 mph, very nice!)
Has the car been on any kind of dyno?
If so what kind and what were the results.

Thanks for sharing,

Marty K.

Marty, I hit 185.8 with a weak launch (left PSM on). It was a great time, and unfortunately had to leave Sat afternoon. With some practice at Lonestar I hope to get some skills to start from a dig.

Nice on the 911 car #. And jesus, what percent tint are you running. When you put your window up, it looked solid black.

i've a question dude how much does the boost bar open with u in this package does it open more than 1.2 ?

[eclou]

Tint on the car is really mild - 35-40% Huperoptik. The sky was very overcast which may be why it looked so dark. I dunno the boost figure - was watching the road and too scared to look down at the dash!

Lou,

In my 190.734 mph run at TX Mile last year I had the following:
0-100 kph == 4.8 seconds (Granny Launch)
100-300 kph 22.2 seconds
(my 200-300 kph was 15.3 seconds which is very strong)

what was your 200-300 kph which is 124 mph to 186 ?
(even though it would have taken a couple of tenths more for you to hit 186 since
you went 185?)

Little off topic but hard to follow this very interesting thread,

Could someone help, I do not see the pictures Eclou is having on his posts ( and it seems I am not the only one...)

All other threads/ pics are ok with photos!

Marty,

by my eyeball 200-300 looked to be 17.2-3 sec. My first run I kept on the throttle just past the mile marker to ensure the 300kph. Looking at the long G's the first 2/3 of 1st gear, 1/3 of 2nd gear, and 1/4 of 3rd gear the tires are slipping + PSM is cutting power/braking to get traction. I compared a run at the end of the day when my friend ran the car with PSM off and the long G's are stronger

[eclou]

Here is a graph of another run when I raised my shift point to 7k rpms. The speed at the 1/4 mile is 130.59mph

God damn that TT looks good. Nice work.
