I forgot to say thanks to all who helped me with the turbo install, there were a lot of opsticals but we made it through,
Mike, Alex, Pete. Jason and Nick for supplies. thanks to all
especially Pete and Alex for pulling out the long hall (3am) and pushing my car back to the shop when i blew the LICP off!
Now just have to wait for the new radiator

Two weeks until my replacement comes and I don't have to deal with the bull**** and stress anymore.
I go back to programming, web design and marketing..woooohoo. I get to drive around WI and take photos of jobs we complete, how sweet is that. I feel sorry for my replacement.

This, my internet friends, is why I'm seriously not considering a stroker.
Well we finally got a decent pass in. This is our 3rd attempt at going to the track with our black EVO8.
Some guys from Columbus rented NRP today and we were invited out. (thanks for renting the track guys!)
First pass after changing our fuel system over was like this with the black car:
60' 1.56
1/8th mile 6.31
1/8th mile MPH 116.71
1/4 mile 9.60
1/4 mile MPH 149.45
The car could have hooked better as it spun the tires very very hard. Next pass it left better but then bogged going into 2nd and still ran a 9.72 at 150.8 mph.
This car is equipped with our 2 liter and our GT42R turbo. You can expect much faster times in the future
Also took my white RS out there. Trent made a few passes with it. The car has our 20g-9-5 on it.
Best pass looked like this:
60' 1.62
1/8th mile 7.19
1/8th mile MPH 97.76
1/4 mile 11.20
1/4 mile MPH 121.92
Also, not that anyone will care I took my Buick T-type out there and with 19 psi of boost on DOT Hoosiers the car ran an 11.3 at 120 mph. Poor V6, that thing just has too many cubic inches
That's it. Great day, good time at the track. No line to wait in, that's the way I like it.

Oh I agree. But, one of my big things is that I'm trying to stay a lil different than the rest of the crowd. 2 ltr would fit into that catagory
