But seriously I was thinking about his trap speed which is the real show of power. maybe it doesn't have to be that much but for the right power to weight it does need to be getting close.

I have seen stangs with only 500hp doing 10's @ the 1/4

I guess you do have a point. 430-440whp in a C6 Z06 does 11.7 @ 127mph. So yea, I'd assume about 400-420whp. Then again, it could be higher due to the Z06 being an animal that can't be compared. The gearing is stupid long and that car is super light and aero.
That is a high trap, though...

Your HP looks like 450 or so by my calculations
Good job again BTW. I have mucho respect for those that can run these things at close to stock weight. ...Very hard, I have found..hence my clutch question

How's that clutch around town?

Trap speed is a measure of hp NOT et.
I've said this many times.
Pump fuel didn't add up to me but, once you posted you're setup and you said meth injection I didn't need to hear anymore. I knew you were running much higher boost levels.
Which makes sense only a handful of 951s have made 120mph in the 1/4. To hear of a realitively stock 2.5ltr doing it on pump stuck out to me like a pig fat 800lb purple elephant baby in the corner.

Never had my car at the dragstrip but a friend of mine did consistant 13.6's with a stock 26/6, exhaust, and chip. How come there are so many cars here running larger turbo's with additional mods running slower times? Anyone else out there with a 26/6 car running mid 13's?

95One, I think you put Tman's 60' time in the list incorrectly. The time sheet says 2.429 and you have it at 2.14 on the top ten list
As far as the time and mph great run, they aren't easy to do at that speed. I can see where you could have the power to get to 120 but with just a bit of wheel hop or tire spin a half second can disappear but the speed can be very close to the same.

I could have easily let out some air in the old crappy tires(from PO) and turned a high 13.
The reason why you don't see many 951's do well at the drag strip is most owners don't care and the ones that do try and be careful with launching their cars(cv/axles/etc tend to break).
I'm willing to bet once my car is running right(solved/electrical issue) and everything is sorted with tune and e85. I could drive it to a 11 sec pass. All I would need is tires. Its not really THAT hard.
You just have to know how to drive and not care if you break something.

I turned a 14.01 @99mph bone stock down to the paper air filter.

It is much harder than people think. there are a few things that come into play IMO.
1) turbo size and lag..bog.. ever see a Honda turn a 12.20 @ 135 similiar thing
2) tires, most don't use any drag radials and spin like a bitch once boost does hit
3) clutch (my problem this year)
4) wheel hop (violent)
5) trans brace
6) weight these things are pigs for a 4 banger
If everything is sorted and you just go for it, then yes all should be fast.
However, the turbo selections tend to favor 4k and above power and without anti lag or some other line boosting things change quite a bit with a big high HP turbo.
I tried a few times this last year to get something decent and yea I could post something but it would make me sick to look at it..What slip you want 12 second with medicore MPH (smaller turbo) or 14 second slip with decent MPH?? or anything in between ??

I'll hold you to that John.

If I was to ditch my hard setup and go soft, put on some slicks and not care what happens it wouldn't take much power at even close to stock weights to pull low 12's high 11's.
Most guys cruise to the strip on their full street setups and run for fun and their times reflect that. When I do go back to the strip it WONT be for ET. It will be strickly to test out my MPH. I might buy some rubber but, well see. Mostly I could care less about a low ET timeslip.
Just like 99% of 951 owners. You don't see it cause we just aren't interested. I could have run high 12's on my lindsey setup. This vitesse steup is good for low 12s for sure. To cut a 11 I would need real tires, and a real suspenion setup that gave me weight transfer.
