Just to break it down, and be absolutely clear here:

Boost controller has 4 buttons total.

Off= around 12-13 psi at my local track..used for shake down runs

low=15-16 psi at local track

high = 18psi at local track..was 19psi at lower airThis is the button that has been used for the last couple months..Same as today. It has been very consistent at 117-120 at local track..consistent today at high 123-124's

manual button is a **** that goes fromo 15psi to ?? (havn't tested it).

I'm not sure what you are getting at, but I did this to prove to myself that running a reasonable boost setting I could break into the 11's.

I drove it 180 miles so that's a reason not to crank it up

Now it's onto making real power....
Not getting at anything! Fantastic job. I will post your time up immediately. CONGRATULATIONS! Totally earned it.

Congrats Sid! Sounds like 130mph isn't that far off the table. Be great to get it to an even lower altitude and run all the same settings as you have so far. I agree with Bruce in that by not changing anything you can get some decent comparisons between different locations.

Which is what he did! He ran the exact settings on his boost controller. It was what I was hoping he would say. Good comparison. The extra 1psi on the gauge makes perfect sense also. It all works out.

I can't wait until he Trailers the car. He's going to knock it out of the park! FINALLY a 951 with some serious drag race times. STOCK TRANS>>.. whooo hooo.. ! Go get em Sid.

No Julesberg, Those guys out there are really cool. They are a bunch of division 5 racers that travel a lot. I was one of the slower cars there.

I have an interesting slip where I ran the exact MPH as another car and he went 11.000 witha zero.. There is potential if I can figure out how to launch this thing like a drag car

Also, Thanks guys...

Howabout a quick-install AWIC setup for drag nights? Ice it down...bet you'd get over 130.

Have you guys tried raising the rear ride height? I did this and am hooking much better and not spinning.

Would this be an off the shelf unit or Josh's setup? Sounds pretty trick with the **** and multiple settings.

I have been thinking about adding one inline

By mistake, my torsion bars are set too high and I have to run spring plates all the way down. I'd also ask you if you have tried drag racing yours? It is a huge difference from just taking off aggresively on the street. I would also be curious about how fast it is??

Sid, kudos to you and your time. I was close in my guess at your time but nevertheless, you proved a lot of people on here that it can be done. You get a thumbs up from me buddy.

Congrats Sid, impressive!
Unless the photos are fake because I keep reading all the time that the 944 will explode if you try to accelerate it from a standing start
