Default Guess my quarter mile!
On a whim I've decided to go to the drags in my beater today, place your bets on what it'll run!

'97 940 - Tired old B230FT, M90
TD04HL-16T ported on a ported 90+ manifold
4bar FPR
Stock DP into side exit exhaust
~18psi, depending on if my misfiring issue rears it's ugly head
Stripped interior and removed aircon, race weight 3342lbs including driver

It made 198rwhp at 16psi a few months back...

Closest time wins....err.... nothing at all!

If you get a really good launch I reckon it'll be this one.

Then you'll be amazed at how slow your car feels on the 1/4 mile.

I know that by the time I'd got into third gear on my Bandit the first time I took it down the strip I was thinking to myself "needs more power". That run was an 11.97@120

14.9@93mph, a significant improvement over my 2006 time of 15.7@86mph

Time for some excuses.... no amount of plug wire recrimping would stop the damn thing misfiring, so I had to back it down to a mere 15psi. Then the damn thing wouldn't stop wheelhopping on the launch!

Oh well, it was fun!
