Me & a few mates went down to Elvington this past sunday i wasnt ready to go on the 1/4 mile but they managed to drag me on... :lol:

Traction was a BIG problem for me i ran the car on road legal Prada tyres full interior & nearly 3/4 tank of fuel with spinning full out in the 1st & 2nd gear i managed a 13.4 sec 1/4 mile time & the 1st position in my class.... :-D

I'll be runnig it again soon this time with slicks & no interior & it shouldnt have a problem getting in the 12's... :-D

You managed to get quite a fair bit of power from your charger ehh...200bhp on yop of the stock 250 not bad...

Next time im on the 1/4 mile strip i'll be going on with slicks because my car is very bad on traction before i can put the power down the 1/4mile strech is finished lol...

So to get full power i need a longer strech... So with out slicks it going to have to be a longer strech where we would have to race... :smile:

its at 1 bar of boost with this pulley it made 475 hp and 395 lb ft before the poo hit the fan.
im trying (and probably failing) to get a 17 psi pulley which should add 20-25 hp and maybe 10-15 lb ft so round about 500 hp and 400 lb ft are nice numbers. as for 1/4 mile iv no idea what its capable of lol i would hope for 12s but it is a heavy beast at 1500 kg ish. obviously the 4wd makes a hell of a difference in 1st gear but also adds more transmission loss once rolling.
the only car i know with the same setup did a 170 mph timed run on an airfield but he drove it like a granny and it was still pulling. i suspect it MIGHT hit the rev limiter which would put it somewhere around 185 top speed i doubt il ever find out for certain though

I raced an RS4 the other day on gas rolling start i beat him every time we raced Germans have good power but your right about the weight...

Good luck for geting you motor back on the road... Yea we'll still have a blast give me a shout when its done... :thumbup:
