Very respectable time. How much HP does it make? A guesstimate is fine if its never been on the rollers.

Prove_it i was only able to run 4 times... 1 run was a 12.2 @ 116 with a 1.9 60' i took it easy on the launch but still spun really bad at 5500 on the launch control... The next 2 qualifying passes for my class i ran a 11.75 & an 11.73... Then at the semi final run i bogged the car bad then miss shifted 1st to 2nd so i just shut it down from there... Made it to the semi's on the pro street heads up class and won $100 so not a bad day for the shitbox lol

You must be grabbing gears pretty fast in that thing. I have better 60' and more mph and only got you by .4s. Good job!

Quoting turbowop:
Good job, dude! I trap 122mph and can't get past the stupid 12.ohhhhhhhhs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif



/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif thnx mark means alot coming from one of the members out here that i look up to... Man that fp30r is making some power lol you just need to get it down the track lol... Now if only my car can look as good as yours /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif. Anyways plan for this winter is go tru the motor and freshen it up... I forgot to mention that cylinder 3 has a low compression when i did a compression test a few weeks back(at 95-psi) and the rest at 130-psi so ima see wats up with that... Hopefully it just needs a re-hone and new rings... If it ran that good on a slightly hurt motor then im sure i can get it better next year

Just looked at your build thread! good Job! I am running a HX35 on my car as well always good to see holset cars gettin down! My PB so far is an 11.7@120 (28psi) and an 11.9@122 (31psi)really hard finding traction on stock sized 195s lol! Still running a 2G MAF and a stock motor, these motors love CORN!

How much boost and timing do you run?
