I am running between 18 and 20 psi with Alta pnp.
Wow. That Alta PNP is awesome. Very nice setup. For comparison, my JCW stage 1 tuning kit only gives me 13-15 lbs boost.

And it looks like with some drag radial tires, you'll be in the 13's easily.

I'm back (old screen name of "minime s")

Looks like I am still number 3 on the drag time list.

Bought another Mini and the mods will begin. Want to go 11's this time.

LOL can you shift with your left hand

I haven't updated it for a while, I will when i get 5 mins.

To acheive the times below we went back to the FX700 and installed some ABF performance driveshafts, which have lasted 40 passes so far.

Anyway I think my vid just gone up on You Tube showing GTT350T (1600cc, no Nitrous fitted) doing 60 to 130 in ? seconds should to most genuine people just about put an end to all this RR comparison theorys and using standing start figures to demonstrate engine performance.


Sometimes I wonder if you really read someones post before replying

regardless, if you just ran a 1/4mi then all speculation would really end

Thanks Bisch, This table hasn't been updated for quite a while I think there's a more up todate Mini table on MT.

Paul You saw that video... your not getting 330ft times cause when you make a drag strip out of a race track you don't have 330 and 1000ft sensors.

I thought it was a drag strip that they run as it is advertised on there web site.

I know Lee Childs in the UK can take his equipment where ever you want him to and you'll get 60 330 660 1000 1320.

Watch the video again... you'll see it was a start and finish with 60ft sensors...

Paul just doesn't understand what happened over here.
Maybe he should contact the people who put on the event and have them explain the video and how things were run.

After reading part way through this thread I will through my two cents in. First let me say kudos to all.
Elapsed time = the time to go the full length of the race track, one quarter of a mile.
Speed = The "average miles per hour" from half track to the end of the quarter mile, the last one eighth of a mile.
Maybe this helps some of you, maybe not.
Also the tire diameter if slightly taller on the driven wheels may give you a little faster "speed" at the "top end" of the track, but a taller tire may increase 0-60 e.t. So added horsepower and torque is needed to get them moving. To get better timing slips some of you can try different tire diameters and widths and compounds.
