At a dyno run during Metro Cruise, I pulled close to 300/300 WHP/WTQ and had a simulated 109 trap speed, while missing a gear on the dyno (streking shifter slop), and given your list of mods I'd expect to do quite a bit better than that. I wish I was back at home so I could run there too, I always wanted to give it a go on a real drag strip.

my time slip used to be posted here somewhere that was years ago. I got tired of the drag radials breaking axles, I ran 315 out back on my forgelines. I now have 60-1 hifi true T3 headers etc. but haven't been to the track with it. May give it a go this summer before I either sell the car or make some management changes.

Ill post my time slips, I dont want to push her to hard despite the fact that I have a spare transaxle as well as 2 sets of CV's. Not many people in the 951 crowd are willing to come do the quarter because it is quite hard on our cars.

Would have liked to join you but getting ready for a trip.
Not to Hijack the thread but are there enough owners around SW MI to have a get together? May be a dyno day if we ever get the thing setup or possible Grattan?. When I get back I'll post something.

You can count me in for a 944 gathering. Drag strip canceled today due to potential poor conditions.

I ran a 15.7 car all stock. After a chip and exhaust it was 15.5. Not bad for a car with a blown out suspension.
