Title: How Fast Do You Think I Will Go?
Post by: Billyisgr8 on September 12, 2006, 08:29:51 AM
So what is every ones opinion on how fast I can get my turbo 1600 singleport to run in the 1/4.

 I know most people think singleports are slow and useless and best left for fuel economy city runners or bush buggies.  I'm just curious what you guys think.

I have been running 1/8 mile up here and having a blast with 10 pounds boost.  I will up it for mission.

Sept 22 will be my last running this year, so if it breaks I have all winter to fix it.

Will I get a faster time then James even though he broke and coasted?  Will I blow up at half track since I am still running stock pistons?  Will I fry my 4 puck  with stock pressure plate?

What do you think?

Slicks arrived today...$280.00 + shipping for 2 NOS Firestones from wharehouse in Ontario ( I asked if they had more for you guys but this was the last set).  Is it going to rain next Friday.........Jeez I can't wait.

Honestly all I would like to see is a 12.?? and a 100 + mph. for this year.

Turbo 1600cc single port?

I would say maybe high 15 or low 16 on 1/4 and under 92MPH.

Oh you havn't seen my other posts yet.  Best so far is a 8.639 @ 83.049 in the 1/8 mile which is a 13.4 someting 1/4 mile on 10 pounds boost.  I plan on running 18psi or so on Friday.  each psi = approx 6-7 hp which is about 50 hp more this time, which should be very close to 1 second.

First night for this engine at the GC drag night at mission I ran a 14.094 @ 95.49 with 10 pounds .  I have worked out a few bugs since then,  This car has 8 - 1/8 mile passes on it and 3 good 1/4 mile passes so far ever on it.
