Ran a 12.79 today :D

Quite happy about that and it was my third and final run. First was 13.5, second 13.02 and this popped in.
As far as I know, 9psi, standard turbo,stock internals, xs crap power manifold, FMIC, cheap k&n cone, uprated injectors, front exit exhaust.
Totally unsure of the engine map, been told it has a reprogrammable ecu so it could have anything, likely nistune.

No rev counter so went off ear, was quick on the gears and foot to the floor (as it should rightly be)

Elapsed Time - 12.79s
Terminal Speed - 112mph
60ft - 1.810
Position in class - 2nd... to this http://www.carthrottle.com/witness-the-worlds-fastest-postman-pat-van/

Can I please be added to the hall of fame for most embarrassing loss? :shock:

I love that Pat van :lol:

That's a good time, have you got a boost gauge as I'd be very surprised if you got that time at less than a bar of boost ;-)

Yup, right up to 30psi. It was set to 9/10 as I dare not drive it on high (likely around 15/6 psi to the limit until it's all been checked over, although it was the last thing I was looking at during those moments. First thing I checked over the line was have I lost any body parts, then it was oil pressure and water temp - all was fine.

Jurby airfield on the Isle of Man, straightliners come over to do a drag and drift weekend.
