12 second mods

Im sure you have gone over this before, but a search didnt turn up anything. What mods do you have on the car to get it in the 12's?

What times are the rest of you running there? Heard its slower than stateside, just curious what a decent run is.

Sorry if this has been posted before.

Thanks, Dave

Grats Jayson! If my formula works, you are producing in the range about 340hp. Keep up the good work!

Now you have a title to prove it.
Thanks Alex. For the title and for bringing Shiv out to visit, that was a big part of the equation I think.

My guess is that the track runs about .3 - .5 sec slower than the mainland. We met Ray from Alabama at the track yesterday and in AL he ran 13.7's last night he ran 14.4. Welcome to HI. I don't know specifically why its slower but I am pretty sure when I looked at the track there is a slight uphill grade at the start.

Most guys here run 14's, although with basic intake, exhaust, and boost controller mods a handful are in the 13's. I believe Kawshon and Teiva-boy are next fastest at 13.5's and V-rod is at 13.6.

I have turbo back exhaust, up-pipe, intake, boost controller, lightened pulley, VF-23 turbo, upgraded fuel injectors and pump, Top mount intercooler and a personally tuned Shiv map on my stage IV unichip.

What I'd do for a couple pulls at Palmdale. sigh.

Now imagine what you'd pull if you could drive!!!


Seriously, though, that's gotta be a fun trip.
Congrats, bro!

Now we need a 12sec RS....








or even a 13 sec RS...



I wouldn't mind being a 14sec RS...
*sigh*

Well when you don't know how to drive you compensate with HP and lots of it.

Vid the 12 sec run?

Anyone get a vid of the run?

Ok, when I finally make it here no one can laugh at my 2.886 reaction time or my redlight. =) I tried running my bike once and it was pitiful, something about the lights screws me up.

Redlights, or getting yelled at by the setup guy to roll up your windows and turn on your lights EVERY TIME. That and taking 30 seconds to get your wheels into the staging lights. Don't worry about a thing.

Let me know the first night you get out to the track, and I'll go to make you feel better.

When it get's noisy

Seriously, I have no idea. When the countdown starts I floor the engine. Since I'm stock, I don't hit redline. Then I let the clutch out until it starts to catch and drop it. Got a *little* tire spin last week.

My best guess is 4-5K. Maybe higher.
