Wanna race from a roll??
But seriously, I am going to put effort into the 1/4.
I would like to see how well a 2.5 951 can go.

Something that you will always fight with is getting off the line. Turbos either boost and traction to get off the line. It is a fine line between bog and spin. It is the nature of small displacement/high hp engines. Your power is these with that high of a trap speed. But heres something that may shock you. If you lower your ET, your speed may actually go down slightly in a 1/4 mile. You can generally get a little more speed by spinning.
As far as the nitrous guy. Well, you haven't used nitrous until you have sprayed about a 90hp shot into a bike.
I have raced my 951 in the 1/4 mile. Its fun, but really, not all that fast (see my 1/4 times/speeds...I am at 5000ft which slows stuff down a lot). Of coarse, I haven't really seen "fast" times/speeds from a 951 yet.

My new goal is to be the first to hit 12s on a stock turbo... err maybe not quite, but that would be sick! I think people are wrong about the 951, it certainly isn't an EASY car to drag but it does have potential.

Tms, what kind of launch did you have with your 12.67 pass? In the GN I used to stage shallow - just until the second staging light came on. Then brake boost. When the second yellow light down the tree lit up, I nailed it. I realize this car will need to be launched differently and far more gently.

I never clutch drop I actually ride the clutch prettty hard and slip it out progressively to buffer the launch alittle. I think in general it helps over a drop not only in terms of launching without breaking anything but also in terms of getting off the line faster. My ET Streets times are not posted on here but even on slicks I slip the clutch and so far my best 60ft is a 1.7. I usually pull 1.8's on average on MT's.

I am going to take it back out at some point and try to add some sort of dampening to it.
NICE! I think yo're on to something.
What shape were your engine mounts in? Mine are pretty old.
