My Alpha 28's
Like Mike I went out and ran this am. The car ran well and I decided to datalog some runs on pump gas with 50/50 methanol.
The best 60-130 was 6.47 seconds.
The 1/4 mile went in 11.67 seconds with a trap of 132mph and a horrible launch with a 2.32 60ft. Gotta love public roads!
The 0-60 mph in this run was 3.82
The 50-70 mph in this run was 1.05 seconds.
The 0-100 in this run was 7.23 seconds.
I only attempted 1 quarter mile run today. I will try and better my times and post more as I get it.
I hope this information helps anyone trying to make a decision about which upgrades to go with. I am sure the car is capable of being a 10 second car with better tires, and probably a better driver, lol. I am running 19's with Toyo T1r's for the street and was having difficulty hooking up in first.

Yes, my car has always been relatively slow in third gear. My best single shift 60-130 is 6.24s. The car simply is not fast enough in third to make up for time lost in the shift and respool.
Give me a few hours to send the file. It's at home.

[quote=MBailey;3077679]See I would have thought that the Alpha's strong point would be boost recovery?

Is your car a 6-Speed or Tiptronic? Is that a fast time for A28 turbos 6.47 ? MBailey you are about 1 second faster, thats a major difference lol. I understand you have more mods that might add up to a lot more power but 1 second still seems tremendous for the same turbos.
