No rotary question but what times are Eddie Bello Doin in the 1/4 mile? Just curious becausse we have a really fast Porsche 911 Turbo with 1033 hp that has gone as fast as 9.46s in 2007, now with more power he lifts the front wheels high but no better times!

Think this is what he's into now and it seems like he's not taking anything less than 1200hp to the race track these days

Just spoke to Anthony.
He's so happy that all his hard work paid off this weekend.
It's all about consistency and the only way to get that is to stick with it and keep trying. There's no substitute for seat time.
Everything is only going to improve from now on. Hint...Hint!!!
Congrats again Anthony!!
See you soon!

Thanks a lot guys!!!! You guys are too sweet lol.

I got pretty lucky yesterday lol. The car ran consistent 10.7s and a 10.6 in the final run. Got a nice trophy and some money.

I have a Holset HX55 turbo (which are like $600-700 brand new) and I was running 25-30psi and that is the limit on these I think. Air temps were in the 160's and track temps were in the 90's. Time for a new turbo. The great news is the car is going straight now with no issues.

A few weeks ago I blew a motor and was not sure why since AF ratios were perfect so I installed 2 EGTS and now getting erratic readings in one rotor, I'll take a screen shot of the datalogs. Gotta thank Tony@tnr for all his help and for 'lending' me the stock motor in the car now.

As for Eddie Bello, he ran a 11.x@150 something MPH! He was on regular street tires and did not bother running the car again that gave me a by run. That's the same car that ran 227MPH in the Texas mile, he also drove the car to the track. IT was a fun weekend, see you guys in Maryland!

Anthony
