LMAO!!! I never wanna hear any thing about Mustangs getting beat by Fbodies. Thats the ultimate humiliation right there. Getting beat by a Plymouth Voyager! LMAO!!!
My cousin has seen that van live here in Houston, putting a WS6 to shame... Its owned by a guy named Paul, and i think it has nitrous on top of everything else.
Haulin' ass and major household appliances! Paul Smith, 6/07/00 I went to Route 66 Last night, Slick Tuesday, Test and Tune. As Gus so well puts it, it was a bad time. I arrived at the track at 4:30 pm. Screwed around in tech for at least an hour, then the place was packed so I had a hard time finding a good spot to put on the slicks. Then wait in line for close to a hour for my first run at 6:37 pm. I only got to make two runs the whole night, for $50! ($10 per person, $20 run card, $10 for fuel) This sucks.
Anyway, I blew the hose off my wastegate control so I was unable to control the boost. (I lost my orifice between the G valve and the turbo). This happened last weekend, but as the maximum boost of the Enforcer 2 turbo appears to be about 24 to 25 psi (in stock form), I left it alone. I also installed Super 60 fuel injectors I got from Paul Fosen (thanks Paul!) as I was running lean last weekend.
The runs were made with a race weight of around 3080 pounds I am guessing, 24 psi of boost, super 60 injectors with 3 extra cold start injectors, on 22 inch slicks. The First run (which you can view on our video clips web page, follow link at left):
I was racing a 1999 LS1 Z28, and got totally confused. I knew I beat him BAD (he ran a 13.87) but I thought I ran the 13.87. I had to get out and check my shoe polish number. I was so excited when I figured out that I ran the 12.65, I got out with the van still in gear, aimed right for the track. Almost didn't catch it!
Anyway, Just to make sure it was no fluke, I pulled right back into the staging lanes, and was 3rd in line (in street class) and waited for over a hour to run! But now I think the van was too cold, she ran:
By now I was so pissed at the track, I left! Besides, my washer and dryer had quit, so on the way home I went to Best Buy and loaded up the Turbo Van with some major appliances! (They had Maytag on sale!)
I have friends who are into 80 and early 90's turbo dodges. Accually I was until I got rid of my spirit rt. They run 14.5 at 97 mph stock. I got into 14's with it and my best mph stock is 95.67. 150000 miles on the OBO. I did some tunning and should of been making 270 crank hp with cheap mods. Go to this website to learn more(www.thedodgegarage.com) My brother built a 1990 dodge spirit which has stage 5 setup 29.4psi computer- will be blead to 35psi. He shooting for 11's once he gets it together. Right now the flywheel ripped in two. These cars can make 500+ ft-lb of torque. Check it out.
