Ok, first off let me start off with I know that G-techs aren't 100% accurate, and I do plan on going to a track to get a real time, but I just wanted to get a ballpark figure for how quick the car was (even though I pretty much knew already). Let me also mention that I g-teched the car when it was stock and got a 15.334 @ 89.74 and when I took it to the track it went 14.986 @ 91.79, so it isn't that far off, and it appears to be slow. Anyways, its just for a ballpark figure so its not a huge deal.
So my friend and I go out, calibrate the g-tech and get on the road I used before to G-tech when my car was stock. The road is a flat 2 lane road that is about 2 miles long between the stop signs, and it has little traffic, so it works good. Let me start off by telling you car condition. Car had 7/8 tank of gas. Rear tires were at 32psi, fronts at 30psi. The boost was at 8.5psi, I had a 30lb. battery in the back seat on the floor, my friend and I both had our school books (20+lbs. together), and my friend weighs 180lbs. Obviously spare tire and all that stuff was in the trunk. (plus my tools that I always keep in there) Here are what those two runs turned out as:
1st run:
60': 2.319
330': 6.083
1/8: 9.253 @ 79.32
1000': 11.975
1/4: 14.279 @ 98.65
0-60 in 5.753 seconds
2nd run:
60': 2.226
330': 5.993
1/8: 9.163 @ 79.14
1000': 11.890
1/4: 14.204 @ 98.11
0-60 in 5.665
I was happy with those results, I was expecting about a 14.3-14.4 with all that weight and everything, so the results were about right. So, I said, fuck this, I know this car is a lot faster and is capable of 13's. So what did I do? Well, I ditched my friend (well, dropped him off at home), pulled the battery and my books out of the backseat, and pulled my tools out of the trunk. I lowered my front tires to 26psi, then I turned the boost up to 10psi. Went and ran it again for 2 runs, and this is what I got:
1st run:
60': 2.261
330': 5.985
1/8: 9.097 @ 80.47
1000': 11.785
1/4: 14.067 @ 99.55
0-60 in 5.503
2nd run:
60': 2.213
330': 5.902
1/8: 8.992 @ 80.80
1000': 11.675
1/4: 13.957 @ 99.34
0-60 in 5.334
Those are the kind of results I wanted to see! I know this car is capable of 13's, and I did it on the street, with a shitty 60', 7/8 tank of pump gas, spare tire in the trunk, and on 2psi less boost than I plan on running at the track once I get enough fuel to it. Now I know its not 100% accurate, but those times are good enough for me! I went and looked at my stock run of 15.334 (it was still saved in the g-tech) and it went 0-100 in 19.249 seconds, look at the difference only 10 months later!
I'm hoping to get some bigger fuel injectors (26lb. instead of 22lb.) and turn up the boost to 12psi at the track and see what'll do. I would like to see 13's before switching to a halfway decent turbo.
Anyways, I just thought I would post this.

Too bad all the tracks are closed for the season in the North.
