60-130 times(MPH)

In typical 6speed fashion, I did a run this morning with my AX-22 GPS datalogger. My unique test track usually only allows one or two runs. For comparison to Porsches and the extensive 60-130mph data available on this site, I did the same kind of run. Temp = 80F, Pressure = 30 in HG, Humidity = 57%. Road flat. 60-130 = 8.8sec

Awesome. So I guess you are happy with your results. Have you done any 0-60 tests and have you increased your rubber? I wonder if you have had an traction issues. That time is amazing.

I've put 285's on the stock rims. Traction is a problem if you drive aggressively but the power curve of the centrifugal supercharger helps.
Car feels as strong as my previous Porsche turbos. I'm planning a little head-to-head to see for sure.
